Father and two children died

[MGoss]

I have heard that a father and two children died during your rain storm there last night. Is this true? If so, its so sad and my heart goes out to everyone there during these periods. Here I was upset over the whole shorts and bikini top threads and then I find this out....really puts things into perspective doesn't it?

May god embrace this family.

Yes, I'm afraid it is. It happened in Maimon, the children were 10 & 3 years of age respectively.

There was another fatality in Santiago as well.

My deepest sympathies to all the friends, families and neighbors of these tragedies. 10 and 3 is such a precious age. God Bless.

I get very choked up about any tragedy, particularly those involving children as I have young ones of my own.

I sincerely hope that all families involved have access to lots of love, help and support to guide them through this terrible time....

The funeral was on the national news on TV tonight. They're still looking for the body of the second child. The father was a national baseball player in 1990 - they put the Liga towel on top of the coffin. There is a lot of anger in the neighbourhood because the village has no bridge and roads become rivers during torrential downpours. There is now info in all the national press, I'll just put a couple here:
