Expressing sympathy

The drowning death of 3-year-old Nicholas Tersigni in a pond at his grandmother’s house in Pound Ridge has residents offering condolences to the family, talking about child safety and taking the paper to task for including information from the grandmother’s past.
The world lost a special little boy who always had a smile a mile wide. There are no words that can console such a tragic loss and relieve the pain and agony the families are going through,
wrote one reader.
Another reader hoped that this could be a good chance to educate people about child safety.
We could really do with a follow-up story on how important it is for grandparents to have … basic child-safety devices. The article doesn’t say how the boy got from the house to the pond, but 3-year-olds can unlock and open most doors easily enough.
Several readers felt it was unneccessary to include the grandmother Mary Ann DiBari’s lawsuit against the Bedford Central School District in the 1990s in the story.
My condolences to the family. What does a lawsuit have to do with this tragedy?
asked one reader, while another added
My heart goes out to the family. We should be focusing on them and the child, not lawsuits.
However, the majority of those responding were expressing sympathy for the family.
How heartbreaking the death of this young child must be for them. God Bless them,
wrote one person, and another added:
My condolences to the family who is suffering from this tragic loss. They are in my thoughts and prayers. … May this child rest in peace.
