    The 12-year-old was awake early yesterday in his hospital bed when doctors carefully removed his breathing tube so he could talk to a grief counselor.
    “He knows. He’s doing okay. He’s sleeping now,” said his heartbroken half-sister, who joined relatives yesterday for the funeral of her dad, 56. “The children still need everyone’s prayers.”
    Adam still had a lacerated liver and fractured skull while Amber, 13, remained unconscious with swelling at the base of her brain.

    The Staten Island family was returning from a Florida trip when their twin-engine plane clipped a tree and crashed amid heavy fog near Old Bridge Airport in New Jersey.

    About 60 mourners gathered at the Menorah Chapels on Staten Island to eulogize the loving parents.

    They were buried alongside their 3-year-old son, who died in a 1999 fire, at United Hebrew cemetery on Staten Island.
