Kate Goodchild and Luke Dorsett's mum Kim gave a heartfelt testimony in court, describing how she cries for her "lost children every day".
Her granddaughter, Ebony Goodchild, who miraculously survived the tragedy, was also in court.
Ebony, who was just 12 when she survived the horrific ride, did not attend any of the inquest hearings but attended the company's sentencing on the Gold Coast, supporting her grandmother.
She, along with Kiwi mum Cindy Low's son Kieran, both survived the ride, after the group's raft collided with another, tossing the occupants into the water and conveyor belt system.
According to prosecutors, "a common theme of failure" led to the horrific tragedy.
Lawyers for Dreamworld's parent company Ardent Leisure have previously entered guilty pleas to three industrial relations charges over the tragedy.
