College student daughter Kayleigh, who along with her two teenage brothers survive their parents, used social media site Instagram to pay tribute to her mum and dad.
“Although I am heartbroken that they will never see me graduate college, will never be there to see me get married or to be grandparents for my children, I can still have my inner peace knowing that they are now stress-free in a much better place,” she wrote.
“You never know what life is going to throw at you, but it is all part of a plan that is bigger than us all.”
“So hug your families a little tighter tonight and count every little blessing because you never know what tomorrow will bring. Life is so incredibly beautiful and I can’t wait to see what the world has in store for me. Rest in Peace Mummy and Daddy, stay close,” she added.
