The news of the deaths of toddlers Connor, 4, and Brandon Moore, 2, was really hard to digest. After their Staten Island, NY, home lost power Monday evening during Superstorm Sandy, their mother Glenda attempted to drive them to a relative’s home in Brooklyn. A tidal surge overwhelmed the SUV, causing it to stall. Mother and children escaped the vehicle and tried to make their way on foot, but the children were swept away by the wind and water. The boys’ bodies were found two days later, 20-30 yards away from the vehicle. Angels Connor and Brandon are survived by their mother Glenda and father Damien.
In light of the horrible fact that neighbors ignored her pleas for help, friends and family are expressing their condolences and sorrow for their loss. –yvette caslin
