BOONTON Family and friends mourned the death of a father two months after his wife and 11-year-old son accidentally drowned in the Rockaway River.
On Tuesday, Boonton s Islamic community remembered the life of Zeeshan Hamayun, who died after a battle with cancer. Among those mourning was his 6-year-old son, Unais Ahmed, who in February watched as his mother, Warda Syed, tried to save her older son, Uzair Ahmed, from drowning in the river.
Unais cries at the scene of the accident alerted authorities to the incident. It s just so painful to see a family have two [incidents ofdeaths in basically 60 days, said Gul Khan, coordinator for the Morris County Islamic Centers and founder of Different Faiths One Family. It s been very tough for the community and their family, especially. It s painful.

There’s a line in an old song that says “don’t go chasing waterfalls.” That’s bad advice to take literally, especially in the New Jersey Highlands. What most people don’t realize is that the Garden State actually offers a variety of swift streams, running rapids and crisp cascades as natural treasures to seek out.
As the weather begins to warm, here are 12 Garden State waterfalls that should be on every New Jerseyan’s to-see list. Don’t forget that these waterfalls get a boost after rain, so keep an eye on the sky when planning visits.

Warda Syed, 35, and her 11-year-old son, Uzair Ahmed, were discovered in a pond in the Upper Pond section of Grace Lord Park in Boonton around 5:30 p.m. Feb. 23. A 6-year-old boy, also confirmed to be Syed s child, was at the scene unharmed. A law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the case told News 4 he was screaming for his mother, which prompted others to call 911.
Syed and her children are all Boonton residents. She was a substitute teacher with the town school system, and worked in the after-school care program as well. A woman in her 30s and her 11-year-old son were found dead in the Boonton park pond, while her 6-year-old son called for help and is left traumatized. NBC New York s Ida Siegal reports.
