Kam described his late wife as the “most amazing spirit in this world.”

“My wife had the biggest heart in the world. And only cared about everybody else and never cared about herself. She put everybody before herself. Everybody showed up for everyone. Without hesitation,” he said.

“My babies didn’t suffer. I’m hurt we are hurt but if you gotten [sic] the chance to feel that beautiful light my wife and daughter brought into your life, cherish it. It’s there for a reason,” he wrote.

“Don’t worry about Kensli and I. I know you both have us covered for the rest of our lives. We will make you both our story and take it one day at time because I know you both are guiding us,” he wrote.
