Our prayers are also for Martin and his family and to all the other families caught in this tragedy like the mother from Wakefield MA who was on Good Morning America this morning. Her 2 sons (age 31 & 33) were there, each lost a leg and their best friend with them, lost both legs. My cousin told me they were all roofers and will need to be retrained. They were standing right behind Martin, the 8 year old. I am from the Boston area and my heart is breaking for these people. Mr. O'Brien, from the Village of Santiago, must be devastated and will probably need a lot of assistance with his daughter's brain injury and granddaughter's handicap. The emotional and financial difficulties these families are facing in the future may be astronomical.
