The Herald was able to follow her journey previously and spoke about how she was a positive person throughout the difficult times.
She also had the support from locals who would host fundraising events to help pay for her bills, as she was in and out of the hospital frequently.
The Herald understands that the family is still grieving and will do an in-depth report when time allows.
