When Chris Churcher lost his fight with cancer in 2019, he died believing he was leaving his family financially secure. "I am so grateful that he never knew," Mrs Churcher said. Karyn Churcher said the judge did well and she was not expecting Kloogh to receive as great a sentence as he did. Soon after Mr Churcher died, Mrs Churcher went ahead with a funeral service she did not for second think she could not afford. However, Mrs Churcher still faces an uncertain future and jokes bleakly that she will be moving in with her children when she is older.
