Breslin’s a jerk but no one should have to suffer the death of two children.

Prayers for the family...I see Mr. Breslin lost another daughter, Rosemary Breslin, in 2004 at the age of 47 from a rare blood disease.

Agreed...I couldn't even begin to imagine...

The loss of two daughters. How sad. He may not have been a favorite of mine, but I would not wish that on anyone.

Prayers for her and her family.

Prayers to him and his family. The death of a child is something you cant even imagine unless you have gone through it or have seen what it does to your parents.

Agreed...I couldn't even begin to imagine...

I can think of no worse fate than attending the funeral of your child.

My Grandmother has buried three of her five, including my Mom. It took some years off the old girl.

My sister-in-law has never recovered from the death of her only child, taken at age 12.

Agreed. One child is more than any parent should ever have to bear but two is really testing the limits.

My mom never recovered when my brother died at 22.

The responses on this thread are amazing in contrast to the types of posts you see on Kos and HuffyPo. Those posts are typically filled with vile expressions of hatred for the conservative individual suffering the loss.

The responses here prove that FReepers are the best...not that I needed any proof!
