Two young children have been left without their parents after a couple tragically died within weeks of each other. Both Chris Mills and Amie Walton died within a month of each other, leaving their eight-year-old son Harry and six-year-old daughter Mia behind.
Amie, who was herself battling liver and bowel cancer, woke up on July 18 to find her partner Chris, 42, had died of a ruptured stomach ulcer next to her. Exactly four weeks later, Amie lost her battle with cancer and she passed away on August 18, aged just 30, BirminghamLive reports.
Funerals for the couple, from Kingstanding, north of Birmingham, were held weeks apart, with Chris's held on August 8 and Amie's on September 12. Harry and Mia are now being cared for by Amie's mother Tracey, who said their families will do their "best to bring up their children the best we can".
