Oh My Gosh, this is senseless, why is Hashem doing this to this outstanding family? The whole Zirkind family has gone through enough tzures to last 2 lifetimes…We are totally totally stunned!
parents do now know yet
On the Israely websites its asking that to keep it way from his parents as they do not intend telling them
no words
BDE. may the mourners, particularly his wife, children and parents, siblings and close friends be comforted among the mourners of tzion and yerushalayim.
Devastated
There just aren’t any more words left to express the tragic passing of two such choshevoh brothers from one family, within 3 months, its beyond anything, and our minds cannot grasp it anymore, we can’t come to terms with it . . . theres just nothing to say anymore, our minds are numb with fear, pain and sadness at yet another tragedy following so very soon after all the others;
Hashem, no more, Ad mosai . . . we can’t anymore.
May Hashem give koach to the families, the broken parents, the children, siblings and all of Klal Yisroel.
