Joshua and Christian DeMello, age not quite 13 months, flanked by their grief-stricken family, were laid to rest three years ago today during a somber morning ceremony in the stillness of a Port Charlotte cemetery off Forrest Nelson Boulevard.
The twins died tragically after falling into a swimming pool without a baby barrier system at their grandmother’s home in Port Charlotte.
