Neville-Lake's mother, Neriza Neville, and children's great-grandmother, Josefina Frias, who were also in the vehicle, were the sole survivors.

Harry and Milly were airlifted to The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, but Neville-Lake said both kids soon lost all brain activity and soon passed away after being on life support.

\"I remember saying to the doctor, 'All of my children? All of my children are gone? This cant be true,'\" she said in 2015. \"Our lives are pretty much over because our whole family has been taken.\"

It's been 4 years since Neville-Lake's children died, and she shared the photo of their lunchboxes in part to keep their memories alive.

Neville-Lake said Daniel and Harry had helped their younger sister Milly design her own lunchbox to \"practice\" for when she entered school.

\"Daniel's is the camo one with his favorite number of 10,000 and Harry chose the name of his guinea pig for his, Fixer. Fixer died and was cremated on Sept 27 2018,\" she said.

Today, Neville-Lake runs a non-profit called Many Hands, Doing Good, which combines her dad and kids' love for the arts to inspire children and students who have suffered the effects of trauma through art, dance and music.

She hopes her story could make others think twice before drinking and driving.
