Mother pays tribute to ‘beloved’ sons who were among five killed in M6 crash
She said the youngest boy, seven, dreamed of adopting a penguin.
The families of four people from Glasgow who died in a crash on the M6 which claimed five lives have paid tribute to their loved ones.
Jaroslaw Rossa, 42, and his sons Filip, 15, and Dominic, seven, died when the Toyota he was driving was involved in a head-on crash with a Skoda near Tebay services, Cumbria, on Tuesday October 15.
Another passenger, Jade McEnroe, 33, died at the scene.
Her son Arran, seven, was seriously injured in the crash, which happened at 4.04pm, and was airlifted to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle where he remains.
The 40-year-old man from Cambridgeshire driving the Skoda, who police said had been reported driving the wrong way down the northbound carriageway, was also declared dead at the crash site.
In tribute to her sons Filip and Dominic, both of east Glasgow, their mother Kamila said: “We are heartbroken at the passing of our beloved angels – Filip and Dominic.
“Filip was very intelligent, sensitive and full of love. We will never forget his smile, open arms, and the words ‘tuli, tuli’ (hugs, hugs).
“He was fascinated by computer games but also incredibly good at chess. He loved chemistry and dreamed of studying at the University of Glasgow.
“Dominic was always smiling, very resolute and sociable. He was extremely caring, always thinking of others first, and the first to help if someone was in trouble.
“Always surrounded by a group of friends of all ages. He loved dinosaurs and Pokemon, but most of all he loved penguins and dreamed of adopting one.
“Our lives will never be the same again.”
The parents of Ms McEnroe, of Kilmuir Road, Glasgow, also paid tribute.
They said: “Our beloved daughter Jade, you are so loved, and we will miss you every day.
“You are a very much-loved mummy to Arran.”
Arran’s father said: “I would like to thank everyone for their kind messages, to the emergency services and the members of the public that assisted at the scene.”
Earlier, Wagamama chief executive Thomas Heier paid tribute to Mr Rossa, of Kilvaxter Drive, Glasgow, who worked at the chain’s restaurant at the city’s Silverburn shopping centre.
Mr Heier told the BBC that Mr Rossa’s colleagues had described him as “a cherished chef and friend” who had formed “unforgettable relationships” with workmates and customers.
He added: “His warmth, dedication and kindness are the characteristics of Jaroslaw that will stay with the team long after his passing.
“We send our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family, which we know he was deeply devoted to.
“Jaroslaw, you will live in our hearts and minds forever.”
