A family member says a Long Island couple's newly orphaned twin toddlers are adjusting well after being told of their parents' death in a plane crash earlier this week.
A cousin said Friday that 4-year-old Amanda and Bobby Gregory took it "really well" when relatives and their nursery school teacher eventually let them know about Tuesday's accident. The family initially held off telling the children to consult a counselor.
Parents Donna and Robert Gregory were on a charity flight to Boston, where he was scheduled for cancer treatment. The plane went down in a shopping plaza parking lot in Easton, Mass., killing the couple and pilot.
Cousin Todd Gregory says relatives are caring for the children in their Riverhead home.
