Vt. couple speaks at GOP convention

Posted: Updated:
TAMPA, Fla. -

A couple from Randolph took the stage at the Republican National Convention Thursday night.

Ted and Pat Oparowski were just two of several people to tell personal stories about the candidate. Romney was an official in their Mormon church in Massachusetts in the 1970s. And Romney ministered to them and their 14-year-old son who was dying of cancer.

"He wanted to be buried in his Boy Scout uniform. He wanted Mitt to pronounce his eulogy. And Mitt was there to honor that request. We will be ever grateful to Mitt for his love and concern," Pat Oparowski said to applause.

The couple says Romney visited the boy several times in the hospital and they developed a loving friendship.
