- On Wednesday, April 1, mourners gathered at Waseley Hills Crematorium for the funeral of eight-year-old Amelia Kolpa, who died following a long battle with stage 4 neuroblastoma.
- Amelia captured global attention after receiving more than 300,000 birthday cards, vastly exceeding her initial goal of 8,000 cards following an online appeal while in palliative care.
