A tragic couple have died one month apart, leaving behind their two young children. Chris Mills, 42, passed away after suffering from a ruptured stomach ulcer in July and Amie, 30, died just four weeks later after a battle with cancer. Their son, Harry, 8, and daughter, Mia, 6, are now being cared for by Amie's mother Tracey, reports the Mirror.
Now a local shopkeeper, Bal Singh, has created a fundraiser for the children after they lost both parents. It is believed that Chris's funeral was held on August 8 and Amie's on September 12.
Their grandmother, Tracey, said: "I would like to say a huge thank you to all involved who are helping raise money for my grandchildren. We have all had a very hard and tough time as late.
"We were all busy concentrating on helping Amie through her illness and preparing ourselves for what lay ahead when we had the massive shock of Chris passing unexpectedly, Amie was so brave and built herself up to get through it which I was so proud of her for.
"Once Chris's funeral was over Amie went to her dad's for a break in Devon where she sadly passed herself a few days later.
"We will continue to live on with them both in our hearts and do the best to bring up their children the best we can. Again, thank you to Bal and everyone one for their continued support, much love."
Mr Singh said: "Harry and Mia have a special place in our hearts. Losing a parent at such a young and tender age is painful but to lose both parents is beyond devastating.
"The circumstances were incomprehensible and have touched every single person.
"We are coming together as collective community to do the best we can for Harry and Mia and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to each and everyone for their support in
