 @f9815797 I have seen the graves of the Spanish Flu victims here - the days following Tisha B'Av, Rosh Hashana. Yom Kippur, Succot - all young victims. Let that not be us 100 years later!! 
 @dbd17de6 @f9815797 My grandfather passed away during the Spanish Flu pandemic on October 21, 1918. at the age of 29. He never got to see his son (my father) who was born 2 months later. 
 @5ae704cb @f9815797 I am so sorry. May his memory be a blessing
