Truly heartbreaking indeed. May God give Mr. Picco the strength to carry on, knowing that Ashley and Lennon are safe and happy in the arms of the Almighty.

I teared up too. I lost a son at 33 days born with a viral infection, he never left the hospital and I was never allowed to hold him until he died.

Then I lost my 16 year old to a sociopath who wanted to see what it felt like to kill and picked my son to beat to death. There was no goodbye. Just heartache that never truly goes away. :(

May God grant Mr Picco peace and comfort.

Thank you for posting this story. I saw this video the other day and was heartbroken for this man and his family.

Rest in peace, Mrs. Picco and baby Lennon.

I’m struggling with whether it’s tasteful to mention that this poor man will be needing more to hang onto than Beatles songs in the days to come. My prayer for him is that he’ll find it. John Lennon’s brand of love is NOT all you need.

"May God grant Mr Picco peace and comfort."

...and may He do the same for you, too.

“John Lennon’s brand of love is NOT all you need.”

I dig your hatred of Lennon, but it is Paul McCartney’s brand of love as he wrote the song.

OMG — just reading the details and seeing the picture was enough to do me in. I can’t bear to watch the video.

May his loved-ones rest in peace, and may the holes in his heart heal quickly.

Almost at the end. ("All you need is love.") It's hard to find the end of Daily Mail articles. At any rate, I don't condemn this poor guy, but the Beatles won't be there for him. Prayers.

What Mr. Picco and you have gone through makes all our other problems evaporate to nothing in comparison. Hugs over the internet!
