In an emotional Facebook post, Melissa Little, 29, wrote she was "overwhelmed" by the “astounding support” she had received since her husband, Damien Little, shot himself and their sons, Koda, four, and Hunter, nine months, before driving off the Port Lincoln wharf in South Australia.

More than $83,000 has been raised for Ms Little through the 'A Little Help' Facebook page.

"For those who knew Damien, Koda and Hunter personally, continue to cherish the memories of their happy times and happy faces," she wrote in a message posted to the fundraising page.

"And for those who did not know them personally please understand how I wish my family to be remembered, the happy fun loving times.

"My final message is for everyone… hug your loved ones tight.... tell them how much you love them and never let them go."

The full message has received more than 1000 likes and 80 comments.
