Her partner AJ was left without a wife and their three children Sienna, seven, and twins Fletcher and Scarlett, five, motherless when Mrs Kelly died on December 15.

‘It gave them time to fight back on this thing, but unfortunately the cancer was too strong and her body couldn’t take it,’ he said Yahoo news.
Mr. Spear started a GoFundMe help raise money for a broken family.
‘Words cannot describe the impact of losing such an amazing woman,’ he wrote.
“Sadness is not a strong enough word for what we feel, but we mourn the loss of our daughter, wife, mother and friend, and for the three children who will now have their mother only in memory. hearts and when they see the stars in the sky.’
Mr Spear said the money would ease the financial burden on families so they could grieve the loss of a loved one.
“Liz hasn’t even had a chance to fight this so we’re asking our friends to help AJ and the kids fight whatever comes next,” he wrote.
