May those children rest in peace...
It's impossible for me to get my head wrapped around this. How can anyone kill their own children.
May the Creator smile on them.
May the Creator smile on them I'm sure the Creator will comfort them.
When someone decides to kill their own children, I then don't care why, or what happened to them. There own personal suffering is irrelevant. I totally agree!
