Mum dies in car crash on day of husband's funeral leaving six kids orphaned

Six children have been left orphaned after their mother was tragically killed in a car crash within hours of their dad's funeral. Louis Nowak lost his battle with cancer in March and his widowed wife Sarah was cruelly killed on the day of his funeral after the car she was travelling in lost control and flipped into a ditch in Wisconsin, USA.

Sara's mother, Patricia Cartwright paid an emotional tribute to the pair who she believes were inseparable, the Daily Star reports. In a heart breaking post, she said: "Where one was, the other one was. What the other one didn't think of, the other one did. I don't think she could be without him. So, she is with him."

The couple who were married for nearly six years are said to have loved spending time together as a family on camping trips and holidays. Louis passed away from an aggressive form of cancer on March 19 before Sara's horrific car crash on April 1.
