I cannot even fathom that this is true. This poor family ❤️❤️❤️

So sorry for this tragic loss of lives. My sympathy to the grieving family.

Who in the hell approved this tweet and article using THAT picture.

Condolences going out for the boys lost in the fire at home in Brampton.

This photo on social used in this manner feels...intrusive. Consider other options for illustrating this very sad story.

Unbearable

Rest in Peace.
