‘She Loved Her Kids, She Loved to Teach.’ Brooklyn High School Principal Dies From Coronavirus Complications, Aged 36
Many have also taken to social media to mourn Romain. On Tuesday, Brittany Aguilera, who identified herself as Romain's cousin,"I used to sit on the bed with her as she drew these beautiful things and she gave me paper and pencil and pushed me to do the same without any judgement, until I got better and better, and we would sit there for hours in silence just drawing," Aguilera wrote. "One day, when I have a kid I’ll show them how to draw the way you showed me.
"She had a huge heart. She loved her kids, she loved to teach," Tia Brunner, 30, tells TIME. Brunner was also a student in Romain's high school art class at Frederick Douglass Academy VI. "She made us feel like family. I felt like one of her sisters... she was just that loving and great at what she did."
Brunner, now a teacher assistant herself, said she had remained friends with Romain after she graduated, and had celebrated her birthday with Romain just a few weeks ago on March 1. "She was amazing and beautiful, inside and out."
