The last time I felt this way was when little Lieby Kletzky went missing and we hoped and prayed and searched and cried.

Me too. The names are on my fridge, and I don't know how/when to take them down, and what to do with the paper when I do.

A thought just occurred to me. I will use this paper for the ashes on erev tisha b'av. I cant throw it in the trash can and this feels appropriate to me.

agree, I'm thinking of leaving the names with the candles for a while and then maybe using the paper as a bookmark for my tehillim or chumash.

No NO. I would never burn their pictures, just the paper with their names because I feel that this represents tisha b'av to me, and I cant throw out the paper. I guess this seems insensitive to some of you.. but I assure you that my heart is broken and I feel that ashes for tisha b'av is the most appropriate for me. I hope that we all can somehow heal... my eyes fill up even as I write this.

If I were you I would out the picture in the Gniza. Along with all the Kadosh papers and notes.

In my neighborhood, several people had put up yard signs with the boys' pictures. Most of them are still up. Today as DD and I were walking around the neighborhood she said to me "I'm really glad to see that people still have the signs. I feel like in a way they are being remembered, and not just forgotten already."

Wise words from an 11yo.
