The tragedy of Hila Zohar

I attended the funeral of Hila Zohar (pictured below), the beautiful four year old girl who drowned tragically this week at  Parkhaven Pool. Councillors Mitchell Brownstein and Dida Berku were there, as were some city staff. Our hearts break for the family. Hila passed away the day before and there was no notice in the newspaper. Nonetheless, Paperman and Sons was nearly full with mourners. Most of those people on hand did not know the Zohar family. A neighbour of mine was among that group. As he looked at the crowd leaving the funeral home he remarked , "What an incredible community this is to provide this kind of support to the family."  Hila Zohar

  1. How devastating to have been at that funeral, Mike – thank you for this entry, my heart has been breaking for the family ever since hearing the news.

  2. That’s the kind of image that i really thing is super image like. If more images very real like this were out there we’d be super full of graet images in the world.
