'So strong, she was happy to the end,' another said.
Newton-John's battle with breast cancer first began in 1992 when she was just 44 years old.
She was very open about her diagnosis and treatment, which famously included the use of medical marijuana.
Unfortunately her cancer returned twice in 2013 and 2017.
