Ashley Cain buries grandmother next to daughter Azaylia after suffering another loss

Ashley Cain has buried his grandmother Cynthia Theresa Cain next to his daughter Azaylia after suffering another tragic loss.

The Ex On The Beach star's daughter was eight months old when she died in April this year after a battle with leukaemia.

Azaylia Diamond had been diagnosed at just eight weeks old.

Earlier today, Ashley took to his Instagram page to share the sad news that he buried his grandmother last Friday.

He shared a few pictures of him and his family at the funeral and wrote: "Last Friday we lay to rest a strong and powerful matriarch of a lady, my grandma Cynthia Theresa Cain.

"Her garden is the plot above my daughter Azaylia which means now there will never be a moment where they’re alone. May you rest forever in eternal paradise grandma and look after my beautiful little girl for me in heaven."

He went on to explain how his heart 'will never mend' and how his pain would 'never go'.
