Ms Langman's business "Bea Prepared" offers gift boxes and hampers, which she started in March 2020, following the death of Jake Duncan a month earlier

Mr Duncan, 24, was killed in a car collision in February 2020; Jake and Breanna worked together for five years at the supermarket.

"Jake was always really supportive of whatever I had done. We spent many shifts at work discussing my dreams and passions and he always said he was proud of me," Ms Langman said.

Ms Langman designed a special box to raise funds for a memorial for Mr Duncan called Ray of Sunshine.

"Ray of Sunshine is called that because that's exactly how Jake was. His smile was contagious and he always had everyone in fits of laughter," Ms Langman said.

"His funeral and the posts on Facebook showed me how many people adored and respected him as much as I did.

"I wanted to ensure that he was remembered for these reasons and not because of what happened to him. Creating a memorial will help with that."

She approached Mr Duncan's family, who wanted to raise enough money for a bench and plaque to memorialise Mr Duncan.

"They came up with the idea of the memorial, which we are working on still," Ms Langman said.

"They have been nothing but supportive of me."

Ms Langman said the community of Warracknabeal have also been very supportive.

The Ray Of Sunshine boxes are still available for now.

"I sold out in three days but have decided to restock as they have been such great sellers," Ms Langman said.

"I made them limited edition because that's how Jake was.

"A one of a kind guy."

Fifteen per cent of every box sold from the Sunshine collection will go towards the memorial for Jake Duncan.
