Dear Patrick & Louis,

My parents, Celia & John Romaine, and I are very sorry for your loss. You were very fortunate to have such wonderful and loving parents in your life. I remember changing your diapers when I was a kid, under your mother's supervision - twins were such a novelty back then. And occasionaly my mother and I would cross paths with your parents at Mass at St. Patrick's or shopping. I am presently in Miami Lakes, FL with my father. Your parents will always be in our prayers.

God Bless & Peace be with all of you.

Louis & Patrick,
I hope you remember - My dad worked & lived with your dad back in the 70's while both employed at Pan Am - we lived in FLA when they all lost there jobs and came back to NY - we also moved to Bay Shore - My dad is John Romaine and my mom Celia.
Your Parents were wonderful people - and they had a amazing relationship. I remeber you both as babies and the last time I saw you was probably 15 years ago.
I think your dad is with your mom and they are holding hands watching over both of you.
I will always remeber all of you.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.
