May your souls rest in peace,
& give your family closure
No one deserves this, we mourn as one
God bless your souls & your family.
Rest in peace little angels
Always remembered

Offerings laid out earlier in the day
On Jan. 22, at about 4:15pm, two men and two women were seen lighting candles and offering two boxes of barbecued pork and pork rice, as well as two cans of Coke by the drain, Shin Min Daily News reported.
They stopped by the canal to place offerings and say prayers, according to the reporter.
The four of them stayed for a while and then took the items away, and three of them got into a car.
Family friend taking care of funeral arrangements
A family friend confirmed with Shin Min that one of the four people is a family member of the deceased.
The family friend also said that he would assist the family and make arrangements for the funeral, and appealed for people to give the family peace.
What we know so far
The two brothers found dead at a playground in Greenridge Crescent were twins with special needs, a family friend told Chinese media.
A 48-year-old man, who is the twins' father, has been arrested by the police and will be charged in court on Jan 24 with murder.
The bodies of the twins were found in a 2m-wide stormwater canal near a playground at Greenridge Crescent in Upper Bukit Timah.
The site is described as secluded and quiet.
The canal, which is large and deep, cuts across the playground.
