In a heartfelt statement released through Cumbria Police, Kamila, the mother of Filip and Dominic, 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)."
She added: "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."
Kamila described Filip's passion for computer games and chess, and his dream of studying at the University of Glasgow. She noted Dominic's love for dinosaurs, Pokémon, and penguins. "Our lives will never be the same again," she concluded.
