A family is in mourning after the death of an "artistic princess" said to be loved by everyone she met, who lost her life in a tragic accident in Brisbane's south-east last week.
Yasmin McAllister, 27, was walking to a bus stop at Camp Hill last Wednesday morning on her way to work when two cars collided at Thomas Street and Samuel Street.

The crash forced one of the cars into the path of the interior designer as she was crossing the road and she was rushed to Princess Alexandra Hospital with severe head trauma.
Her husband Aaron called her father, Glynn Harnell, who was supposed to catch up with them both for dinner that evening.

"I said 'how bad was it' and he said 'bad, like bad'," Mr Harnell said.
"We got there and it was bad...she was in a coma, she never regained consciousness.
"Once a month I used to try and get over (to see Yasmin and her husband)...I was supposed to be doing that last Wednesday, but that was not to be."
Mr Harnell said his daughter was surrounded by family when she was taken off life support more than 18 hours after the incident.

"It was a family conference, a family agreement that they pulled the breathing tube out at 1.11am on Thursday morning and she passed surrounded by all of us, we were all holding on to her," he said.
Mr Harnell said his daughter, who had signed up as an organ donor last year, was "selfless" and loved by everyone who knew her, from her primary school days at Fernvale, near Ipswich, through to when she moved to Brisbane at 18.

"She is only 27 but I have been contacted by people from primary school, church, all her jobs, even her part-time job after school at IGA at Fernvale," he said.
"I honestly can't remember her having any enemies at all."

Mr Harnell said his daughter's husband, who he met four years ago last Thursday, was "devastated".
"I don't believe in soulmates but if such a thing did exist, it was them," he said.

Her husband took to Facebook to say goodbye to his "princess".
"I miss you so much and I know life is gonna be tough without you, but I promise you I will face it head on as that (is) what you would have wanted," Mr McAllister wrote.
"Nothing is the same for me anymore, I feel like one half of me is gone but somehow you continue to touch me with your spirit and give me direction and comfort.
"Please come and visit me from time to time, watch over me and guide me through this life until we meet again. My heart and soul are broken."
Last night Mr Harnell visited the memorial set up at the intersection where his daughter was hit and said it warmed his heart to see she was loved by so many.
"I went down with other friends last night and stopped there about 10pm," he said.
"It is just heartwarming to see how many people, how many flowers there are.
"She is greatly missed."
Yasmin's mother Amy thanked her family, friends and loved ones for their support.
"Thanks to Aaron for being the best husband for my daughter," she said.
"I thank God for giving Yasmin the best of everything that she deserves. I will be forever grateful to God that I have the honour to be her mother.
"Our family will be forever grateful for all the messages of comfort, it made us easier to deal what happened to my daughter."
