THATS AMAZING. I pray that it helps. My 17 yr old brother, a passenger in his friend's car, was killed by a damn drunk. The driver was fine, and the drunk walked away. Not a scratch. No jail time...nothing.😢
@@angelaedwards5124oticr how the drunk driver always survives & the victims don’t survive? I think it’s because they’re drunk so there body is relaxed during the wreck so when their body hits things it doesn’t do damage to their body like it does the sober victims. I heard this somewhere. Sorry about your brothers friend.
@@angelaedwards5124 i’m sorry to hear that guy got away with it. To add insult to injury, he will not even suffer guilty feelings most likely. Since he was so inebriated, he will have no memory of this event. He may hold himself blameless. We need to have stronger penalties for drunk driving. Getting behind the wheel of a car when you’re drunk is the same as stumbling around with a loaded gun and hoping you don’t accidentally pull the trigger.
"Why didn't she swerve?" Are you kidding me, the thought never crossed my mind. Some people are so heartless, the only one to blame is the man who hit them.
I've been following this story since shortly after it happened and the thought never crossed my mind either. The only thing I think of is why did that drunk driver get behind the wheel that night. 😢
@@desertgirl30it’s simple they thought they could do it safely and overestimated there driving ability when there drunk. There is a reason I never drive after I drink it’s stupid and very irresponsible.
My last name is Vaughn too. It is so sad how many people including our politicians don’t want to make stiffer fines for people that choose to drink and drive.
I owe your family an apology. 2 years ago I got 2 DUI's. Thank God I didn't harm anyone but myself. But this could have been me. This hits me in the gut and I'll NEVER do that again. Im so sorry for your loss and what I did 😢
Same. And I always should have known better because I got hit Christmas eve 2013 head on by a drunk driver.ive never felt more ashamed. This story reaches so many different hearts.
@@kyleerosee3 thank you very much I just can't believe I did that it was so reckless I did hit someone but they had a truck and I had a little Nissan so there was no damage to the vehicle but little did I know and thankfully there was a call across the street I just wouldn't be able to live with myself if I caused the pain of the family that this is going through you have to think before you act and you know what it was over a stupid tattoo! You could lose your kids and I'm sorry 😭
@@aubreemcclennen92 as an ex-addict and ex-alcoholic 10 years clean from heroin and meth and about four now from drinking I think if not more maybe 5:00 I'm not sure I ruined my brain completely with drugs I didn't drive all messed up on drugs though just when I was drinking so I got two DUIs and two years because of that so it's screwed me I still don't have my license back and that's been 5 years plus. In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan it is a very very strict place where I'm at. They don't take DUIs lightly here they take no s*** the I feel terrible for what I've done even just the DUIs part and not even the drug parts that I've done terrible things to you know. But I'm happy I didn't get into an accident and when I was drinking or anything but I did get into an accident get hit on by a drunk driver myself nobody has killed but we sued the s*** out of him. He deserved it and I ended up getting his dog too dog had a broken hip in the accident so as of that Tech I took it on as my own this was Christmas Eve too in 2013 so it's like Christmas socks sucks I just couldn't imagine what this family especially is Mama I apologize deeply deeply deeply for my heart that's why I watch all the videos I watch listen to everything they have to say and support as much as I can because there's nothing I can say or do to make up for even the DUIs I've got f*** the courts that has nothing to do with it it's stories like this that really impacted into my life at least. I just hope you're doing better and I'm proud of you just so that you know from a complete stranger from one to another I understand and I am proud of you
Don't listen to the people who think your dad should've been the one to identify Lindy, Christopher & Kamryn, he was right where he was supposed to be. Your bravery the night of the crash taking on the unthinkable to spare your parents from the pain of having to identify their children is inspiring.
No, I disagree. A parent's job is always to protect his children. This is waaaayyyy too much for this poor you g woman. She needs to put her OWN children and husband d first.
@AubreyShelton-rr7yy Ma'am, this is the internet. It's an open forum where people share OPINIONS. I have some experience with giving up my entire life by taking on the grief and responsibilities of my parent. It caused irreparable damage to my marriage and to my relationship with my children. What I'm saying, respectfully, is that it is NOT a child's job to carry a burden for a parent.
I shared this with my 22 year old Son who was driving under the influence. He wasn’t caught by the law, but he was caught by ME. Thank you for sharing your very profound loss with the world in attempt to change and save lives.
@@thewewguy8t88By the time he was caught by mom, he had already driven drunk an average of 7 times. Not his first time, not his last. He just will make sure in the future he doesn't come home to mom & dad.
@@lucyterrier7905 yeah that does not surprise me sadly does he keep saying he won't do it again everytime he was caught or does he just act like it's no big deal and gets upset everyone is upset with him and says stupid stuff like I drive better while drunk or something like that.
Why would anyone ask why Lindy didn't swerve. That is a horribly callous and thoughtless thing to think or say out loud. Your family was driving home in the correct direction. They were doing nothing wrong.
There’s no time to swerve when someone is travelling 90 km/h straight in your direction especially at night, some people are very stupid and have no common sense
Hi...I am reading this from NIreland...just don't know how you have got through this tragic incident. The loss you must be feeling is really unimaginable. I guess it's the wee quiet moments when you miss them most. Really feel for you and your family. You did do well with the video. Your siblings would be so proud of all that you are doing. Take care.
It is murder. The weapon used is a car. I said the same thing when my only child was killed by a driver who got high. This is the most unbearable pain anyone can go threw. Thank you for sharing your story and fighting for your family.
I’m so so sorry 💔 I saw a TH-cam short of your dad putting lights on your siblings crosses 😔 ….and I’ve been watching your family videos since. Thank you for sharing your story 💕
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I am so sorry fornyou and your family. I despise drink drivers they are murders in my.opinion. Sending love and prayers from Scotland.
Drunk drivers who cause fatalities ARE murderers, and it’s an unfathomable shame that they aren’t prosecuted as 1st degree murderers. You’re an incredibly strong woman, and I’m sure that your siblings would smile if they could see how you save lives with their story. I wish you and your family all the best ❤
Someone dropped the ball by leaking all this before the family even had a chance to be told no one should ever have to learn that there loved one have passed in this manner
Agree 💯. Everyone knows those people who seem to relish telling people about anything tragic, and the deaths that result from them. Because they've never been in the position of having someone *they* love being involved in a tragedy. This is a side message. *Don't* be that person. They need to have some empathy or bare minimum, have some *decency* and respect for those involved. They were someone's loved ones.
Found out about my mom from Facebook, doesn't fucking matter you find out anyways. I didn't beleive it, until I heard it from my dad. He never said she passed away" or something like, nope just a good ol "your moms dead" yea. I don't give a fuck about anything anymore fuck all peace
Don't ever apologize for crying and grieving the loss of family members, please. You have every right to grieve and my heart goes out to you and the rest of the family. :(
I don't know where she gets her strength. I'd be in a straight jacket. Her brother and sisters will be so proud of her telling their story and getting the message across of the damage you can do getting behind the wheel impared.
💔 Taking on the responsibility of searching for your siblings was an incredibly brave & loving act. I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. It’s unimaginable. Thank you for enduring the emotional labour it must take to share this tragedy.
This story will always reduce me to tears, so please don't apologise for your grief. My heart breaks for what your family endured and still are enduring. My thoughts and love are with you 💗
A teenager didn’t murder these children. John Lundy was an older man. Yes, educate the teens. But how do we teach adult men with decades of toxic addictions.
Also for anyone who has been charged with a DUI. Anyone - young or old ... Especially a ' first - timer ' . My heart goes out to this brave , beautiful family and their friends . Thank You , God , for giving them the strength they desperately need as they go forward with their lives ...❤
I agree to the point that I’ve talked to my son and he’s not letting his kids (I have two beautiful grandkids by him) get their license until age 18. Plus they Have To Listen and Learn about this family, and then share this with their friends!! My son has Pound into their heads and hearts that an automobile is a TWO TON DEATH MACHINE since they were 10 years old!! As far as other drivers that make wrong choices…not much we can do but EDUCATE!! But we gotta START SOMEWHERE!!! ❤❤❤
I just found ur channel. I am so sorry for ur loss. My son’s were hit in 2012 by a drunk driver. My 19 yr old held his 18yr old brother as he died. You are very strong to share their story and raise awareness. Prayers and hugs to you all.
Oh dear God. YOU are strong for letting others know of you and your older son's loss. My sons are close in age as well and I could easily see one holding and comforting the other in a horrible situation. You and your family suffered such a horrible loss. My heart truly aches for you.
Why didn't she swerve?! Holy shit. Imagine victim blaming in this situation. How absolutely disgusting. I am so so incredibly sorry that you and your family had to go through something so horrific and traumatizing. Your siblings are so proud of you. I know they're watching over you and your family, watching you change the world by sharing your story.❤
Victim blaming is all to common in these situations. I too was hit by a drunk driver and somehow survived by a miracle. I can say I even have family ask me why didn’t I avoid. It’s crazy. People don’t understand unless they’re in it. I’m a really good driver but predicting the moves of a drunk person behind the wheel at night is not easy and not always possible. Maybe she did swerve but he may have as well. It’s so hard to say and so unfair. 😔
I’m so sorry for your loss. I was a triplet I had two identical brothers on Christmas Eve we were all going to my parents house they and there Families were in one vehicle and I was in a vehicle following behind them. A drunk driver made me the only one left out of the triplet I saw the accident first hand it’s been hard every Christmas. I have cried over your family’s murder and I have prayed for you as well. May the peace of GOD keep you in his hand especially during the Christmas season. Thank you for sharing
@@irenemorley75 You can call yourself a flower, if it makes you sound better but you're still an a**hole. Last I checked vehicular manslaughter is murder without intent, in a car. Also if one makes a decision that KILLS others, that's murder. You could argue all you want but if you aren't experiencing the grief of those whose loved one was killed, your opinion doesn't count and it doesn't change the fact that someone was killed by another.
I was 11 the summer of 1997. I was in the car when we were t-boned by an under aged drunk driver who ran the stop sign. I saw him coming before he hit us. I had a nightmare about it a few days before. When I came conscious I looked up and saw my Mom's lifeless body in front of me and my Dad unconscious with his head cut open. My Dad lived for 16 years and 10 days after that with a constant headache that never went away. Brain damage. And he missed his wife for that many years every day. We lost our Mom. I will be blessed the day I get to see them again. ❤love and prayers for you and your family! So grateful families are forever
I'm so sorry about your parents and what you've gone through. My granddaughter will be 11 next month. I just ache for the little girl you were. No child (or anyone) should go through that. ❤🙏
I have cried for you and your family I have no words for how sad it makes me feel for all of you God is going to see you all through this tragedy Ian so sorry for your loss keep doing what ever it takes your family to get through this grief keep God first in young life many Blessings to you all .
This just broke my heart...I was hit by a drunk driver and still live with the after math. There is no justice when lives are ruined. They get to live where others don't. They get to move freely while others are confined to bed or wheel chairs. I give you a lot of credit for your bravery and keep shouting the message. Don't drink, get high and then get behind the wheel.
Do not EVER apologize for crying when you do these videos. You are very strong to do this. Thank you for adding awareness. I hate the fact that you lost your 3 siblings.
I wish I could hug you. In 1999, my 15 year old niece was killed in a drunk driving accident. My mom, stepfather, and I went to the hospital to identify her body. I am crying right along with you because she looked exactly like you described your sister and brother. For me, it never gets easier telling her story. God Bless you and your family.
As hard as it was, you did exactly what you needed to do for your father. My older sister was murdered by her estranged husband back in 1992. Our brother identified her body. He is still of the belief that them identifying her would have completely destroyed our parents, especially mom. We'll continue to pray for His peace to surround you all during this time of grieving.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I agree with your brother completely, my 20 year old son passed away suddenly, I couldn't bring myself to identify him, my brother offered but a police officer did it for me. Blessings from Australia. ❤
My they rest peacefully with Jesus, May your family be blessed with Love, strength, and unity! God Bless! Yes! I Trust And Believe In God! Amen! Give Your Life To The Lord, He Loves You SM! 11:11! Lord May You Protect and Guide whoever reads this! Amen! Jesus Loves You SM! THANK YOU JESUS! 222! 444! 555! 111! 333! 888! 777! GOD BLESS EVERYONE! AMEN! I LOVE YOU JESUS SM! 💗😊
My heart breaks for your family and you. When my son was 11,his best friend was killed by a drunk driver. It haunts him to this day and he’s 50 years old.
The news outlets should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. That should’ve never hit social media before the family was told what happened. This is absolutely devastating on top of everything else. I’m so sorry you and your family went through this.❤
My thoughts exactly!!! That was the ULTIMATE DISRESPECT to the families. I couldn't imagine scrolling on FB, come up on an article about a fatal crash, and find out that it's my own family that I am reading about. That was ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!😡
Their only concern is being first to report. When tragic events such as this take place those that are in shock and pain firstly have to stress about informing loved ones before social media does. It's criminal.
I watched the aftermath of a fatal motorcycle accident. He had landed in front of some lakeside condos, on a busy street, rush hour traffic. They put up a sheet between this poor man and the building but he was in full view of 5 mph traffic, as they roughly ripped off his clothes, the whole preliminary investigation stuff. I was really upset because you could see people with their phones out and I thought this man, his family deserved more respect. It seemed to me that people in the condos were given more courtesy than him. He was all over social media, before he his family was even aware that he was gone. I know how they must have felt, because I wasn't told about my mother for months, even though I wasn't lost or hard to find. They had her quietly cremated and a jar of ashes labelled with her name, birthdate, death date on the lid, was left at my door. No note, nothing. Worse is my neighbor found it and knocked on my door. It was awful. I lost so many people in 3 years, both parents, both of my in laws, best friends, uncles, aunts, all were sudden, accidents, aggressive cancer, self inflicted harm , terminal illness, none of them age related. It is still hard to believe. I cannot say I know another's personal experiences or how they feel or should feel but I know how much it hurt to lose one and then it compounded with this unreal feeling that comes with multiple losses back to back. You just start to wonder when life is going to stop punching you in the gut and if you will ever get up. My heart goes out to this young woman and her family. I'm grateful that her story is actively saving lives. ❤❤❤
When our son died I had to read people's comments who were on tbe scene and detailing the graphic things that I should have never known. Eventually the news station removed the woman's comments but that hurt so much. I already was panic stricken thinking my 16 year old son, my baby, and a mommas boy may have been yelling for me and this lady details of the moment they died! It was sickening. Thankfully my son was completely unconscious and did not feel any pain. He lived briefly but they could not have saved him.
It has helped me find my family members in the past. I understand it's difficult finding out this way but I have found out about my family and was actually able to be with my loved ones at the scene. I live in a smaller city.
My dad and his dog were killed by a drunk driver while crossing the street last February. The waiting for trial thing has just made this feel like it’s never ending. My heart is with your and your family ♥️
I'm very sorry about your father and his beloved pet and I'm sorry that you and your family have to be re-traumatized by the trial. Prayers for strength and comfort through God as well as your remaining family and friends.
I am so sorry. I've lost my parents and my sister, but not at the hands of a drunk irresponsible driver. It's so hard anyway, but to have to know it was at the hands of someone else is horrible. I will keep you in my prayers. ✝️🙏💞
❤In an instant….a split second a life can change forever! I have told my children over and over again that being behind the wheel of a car is a huge responsibility and whom ever is in your car is also your responsibility! I was an Er trauma nurse for 40 years and have not only lost my son but have dealt with these same pains for all these years. My heart aches for all of you. The stories I hold in my heart are many and all so tragic and devastating! I often relive those “scenes” which I did share with my children but I don’t share them with anyone else…..my nursing friends and I are the only People that understand what it is like to hold these memories for a lifetime. Thank you for sharing and Praise to Jesus and our Lord who gets me they every day!❤🙏🔥✝️
Don't ever be sorry for crying while telling your story because from great love comes grief. I lost my 18 y/o son, Dylan, in a tragic car accident on 6/27/14. My heart breaks for your parents, you, and your family. The grief of losing a child or sibling in such a traumatic way stays with you always. Thank you for sharing your story with us. It is very brave of you to try and help others. May God continue to lead, guide, and bless you all!😇😇😇🙏
You are an AMAZING SISTER, DAUGHTER and MOTHER, you never have to apologize for crying. You are a wonderful voice for your siblings and family. Your siblings memory will live on and others lives will be saved through your advocacy against Drunk Driving. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know I am so proud of you for telling your story and so many others are too. Thank you
@@bernadettebarry3099Your a asshole. Maybe you don't have family or anyone pass away it's devastating. Your a horrible horrible person. No one made you watch the video. I feel sorry for anyone who knows you. Your an embarrassment.
My dear, NEVER apologize for your grief and tears; for they are the evidence that we have loved and were loved deeply! Drunk driving is a real problem; one that has hit our own family hard as well. You are so brave to share your story and those of your siblings, and they NEED to be heard! Many hugs, love, and prayers for you and yours!
I dont know if it happens to all of us. But when my brother passed away and they told me the time he passed, i thought to myself "I was shoe shopping at his time of passing. Completely unaware that in just a few moments, my life was going to be forever changed" 😢
Personally I think Lindy started to swerve she faced it head on and I think she tried to put herself in the line of that car hoping everyone else would make it. I think her slight movement saved your mom and Marissa. I think the fog obstructed her view and that slight movement saved 2 lives. So I see her as a hero. Much love from a Canadian grandma in Alberta who loves Louisiana.
24:16 I’m so very sorry for your loss and pain. I’m so glad you were able to keep God first having faith and knowing you are not alone and He will turn your mourning into joy Isaiah 61:3 “…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair”.
I 100% agree with this. Lindy prob did swerve like all other cars trying to protect everyone, but the drunkard most likely swerved with her. There is only so much time to make such a quick decision. She is a hero.
God love her. When you get behind the wheel impared you are a murderer you might make it 1 time but there's going to be a time when you don't. I implore anyone who knows someone who drinks drive to turn them in to the police before they cause a tragedy like this.
The car taking more damage on the drivers side indicates she started to swerve but there was no time because a car in front of her swerved first. Lindy did what she could but didn’t have time to save them all although I think she tried.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your 3 siblings. My condolences goes out to you, your husband, your siblings friends and your parents. Please don’t ever apologize for crying/grieving 🤍🤍🤍🕊️🕊️🕊️💔💔💔
This horrific accident is the worst family tragedy that I know of, ever. (And I am a nurse for 25 years) I never stop thinking of this family and I pray for their peace. All of the medical community knows of this tragedy and we continue to love them all.
If you’re ready for a good cry, look up the Peckler family tragedy in 1997. (Judy Peckler of Los Gatos, Ca. if you need a google search.) That family lost dad, sister and brother. Mom and two sisters were at home and not in the accident. Jeff (the son killed) was hilarious and really well liked. He wrote and performed a convincing short persuasive essay about why bread always falls butter side down 🤣. (I went to middle school with him. If I recall properly he was killed freshmen or sophomore year.) Anyway… the family found motivation and has done a lot of good community things to keep memories alive and advocate and educate. It was a drunk driver - a local of a small town that the killed Pecklers were driving through on a snow trip.
Many years ago there was a crash involving the death of 3 very young children. The parents went on to have 3 more, the exact gender of the ones killed. They were on Oprah. It was a very heartbreaking story.
@handbagdiva i've seen plenty of vehicles online with their rear ends pancaked all the way to the front seats. which are a result of highway breakdowns, or morons speeding into stopped traffic.
@@nunyabusiness2945What a heartbreaking tragedy! That poor family put through so much pain because someone had to drive under the influence. I’m going to google their story and support them in their work. The strength of some brave ppl continues to amaze me! Blessings to that family!
Here in Delaware a few years ago there was a crash that killed the father and all 3 daughters and the only one that survived was the mother….they were on the way home to New Jersey from vacation….i drove passed the aftermath of that one and it was horrible! I couldn’t imagine waking up horribly injured and learning your the only left and the asshole not even in the hospital and his passenger either….he fell asleep at the wheel in the middle of the day and crossed the highway including median and all and hit them and another car
I survived a drunkdriver accident. He was a minor no papers no Insurance drunk and still approached my bed at the hospital and told me I am sorry. It's been 26 years since my accident in Sourh Texas. I suffer from lower back pains from time to time. ThankGod I am alive for my two daughters whom are very unappreciative in this,lifetime. Sometime I feel 6 feet above ground no sense in living. It hits me from time to time
God still has a purpose for you - talk to Him about it, He loves you soooo much! 😊 I pray that your children will become appreciative. I'm sorry for your pain and heartache. Again, talk to God . . .
August 2003, 6 members of our family were killed by a drunk driver. My niece and her 4 kids, and her 14 yr old brother. A 7th member survived with horrible injuries. My niece’s husband was a cop and was the 2nd one on scene. “A car crash has left a KELOLAND police officer mourning his wife, four children and a teenage brother-in-law. And investigators say a drunk driver killed them. The accident happened near Waubay last night. Officials say 25-year-old Jason Cleveland of Watertown crossed the center line in his pickup and crashed head-on into a car carrying 23-year-old Leah Redday of Waubay and five children. When a KELOLAND police officer responded to Saturday's crash, he learned the traffic accident was also a personal tragedy. Now, a small community is mourning an entire family.”
Oh sweetie, my heart breaks for you. My dad died in a horrible car accident 17 years ago and I still can’t tell the story without crying. The pain of losing the people you love will never fade. RIP to your siblings.
Your voice matters. Even to someone that has lived 27 years after losing my baby sister. In March 1996, after 3 days of snow days I just wanted to get out of the house, I asked my younger sis if she wanted to go pick up our older sister at work and use her subaway stamps to get her favorite sub. On our way home I hit a patch of blow over snow/ice and crossed the center line where I hit a delivery van head on. I was critically injured. My older sister was uninsured. My baby sister was buckled in the backseat and she was killed. They said it was instant (a hinge type broken neck)and I will take it to my grave to save my parents the agony of knowing it was not instant. Tonight I was scrolling through TH-cam and one of your videos was recommended… tonight. At 44 years old I realized something new. You said “I am not the same person I was.” And it hit me so hard I sobbed realizing that I will never know what kind of adult person I would have been. I’ll never know a lot of things. What I do know is this. You don’t EVER have to apologize for those tears, they will hit you at the weirdest moments and you’ll have no control, that’s ok, it’s similar to laughing- an emotional response triggered and sent. Cry. Cry sad tears, cry happy tears, cry tears of resolve and strength, just let it fly. One more thing I know now and hope it may help you… too many people told me things they thought would comfort or help- they meant well but had NO idea what I was going through… “time heals all wounds” is one of my least favorites. Time doesn’t heal this. Time allows you to get a better grasp on doing life without people that were like limbs to us. Time will allow a callus to form so it’s not on the surface blaring into the world, it becomes a dull empty spot in us that we know is there and one day you will realize it’s not as obvious as it once was. I am amazed by your strength and resilience, your voice means so much to so many and you will find new and creative paths to make your message heard, I know this too. ❤
@jayjaystevens6180 You are correct; you and we will never know the person you would have been without the terrible tragedy you have endured. Having read your beautiful, empathetic, wise words, it struck me that you are the human version of the majestic Sequoia tree, that is only able to exist because of devastating, killing fires, that enable the cones to open & the seed to have a place to sprout and grow. Our Creator has a purpose for every unique one of us. Sadly, what doesn't kill us really does make us stronger, if we are smart enough to learn from our tragedies. You, dear heart, have a passion & ability to write that connects with other humans. I pray that you continue to share your gift & talent with those broken hearts who need your compassion so desperately. Thank you for your honesty & insight, I would be proud to call you my friend and am grateful you lived to share the same world.
100% Truth, I can't stand that remark. Time heals all wounds? Like hell it does. You learn to live a different kind of normal. I've never wondered who I might of been but I do wonder who my son would of married, would they have children? Blessings from Australia. xx
You did a great job explaining your situation. And I am sorry for your loss. I lost my cousin over 50yrs ago by a drunk. It was my aunt and uncle's only child. They never were the same. Unfortunately holiday parties always have brought out the drunks. I wish you success in your reaching out to the public.
Oh my, I am lost for words. I am so sorry for you and your family. My heart hurts for you all. God bless the children in Heaven 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️. A drunk driver hit my niece head on , same circumstance. She was 17 and it was her birthday . Prayers and hugs for you all. 🙏🙏🙏😊
Reading body language... Every time she looks to the left and right, she is literally seeing it... Reaching for the memory! My heart breaks for her! May God be with them all!!♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
I've just had the privilege of seeing a presentation, on line, by Katie's mother Dawn. The strength, determination, and bravery gene is obviously strong in this family. Don't be ashamed to shed a few tears, it shows your deep love for your siblings, and if you can't cry at a tragic time like this when can you. To the people that ask daft, insensitive questions like why didn't she swerve? The other driver (yes the murderer) was doing 90mph. Lyndsey was doing 75 mph a combined impact speed of 165mph. By the time she'd seen the other driver it would have been too late. Stop asking fool questions like this is your tragedy. Katie, you are in my prayers and my admiration for you and your family in trying to prevent someone else suffering the same grief is stratospheric❤❤❤
I almost had this happen to me. You can’t spot the car like every says, especially if you’re behind a vehicle. I got lucky and moved in time but it was to close
I know this is not my grief, and I've heard your story before and commented on the music video. But honey, every time I hear what you and your family went through, it breaks my heart and I cry for you all. It is because of your voice that I don't use my phone while driving anymore. I don't drink but I am more aware of not being distracted while.driving. I always remember you in my prayers.❤❤ May God continue to bless you all.
ive thought for many years drunk drivers who kill should be charged with 1st degree murder because it is an intentional act to drink then drive they made the choice should carry life sentence
My family extend our deepest sympathy, I was a medic for 30 years and those calls you never forget, I want you to know that you have a group of people that feel your pain because the first responders live with your pain we just are really good at hiding it reach out to them
Never apologize for crying while talking about this terrible thing that happened to your family. Your video should be shown everywhere. The people that drink and drive need to understand that their choice to drink and drive can cause horrible consequences to other innocent people around them. They can do grievous harm that can never be fixed. I’m so, so sorry for your loss. 💕🙏🏻
Baby girl don’t apologize for crying. You’ve been through an enormous tragedy losing so much in a very short span. They did not pass alone, Jesus never left them. Much love to you sweetheart, y’all have been added to my prayer list ❤️
I don’t like cigarettes or drugs should I be proud of myself for that no I just made smart choices alcohol is a slippery slope though just like the things I mentioned. I don’t mind alcohol but I never drink and drive and I’m not around people when I do.
I truly cannot imagine dealing with this kind of tragedy. It seems impossible to process. I'm so very sorry. Thank you for spreading awareness and sharing you family's story. I wish no one ever had to experience this
It never ceases to amaze me when someone like you comes along and takes this unimaginative experience and turns it around to teach and help others not to experience what your family has. Your strength, commitment and compassion truly show what kind of person you are. You are honoring the lives of your siblings and friend every day, by reaching out to others. ❤️
My they rest peacefully with Jesus, May your family be blessed with Love, strength, and unity! God Bless! Yes! I Trust And Believe In God! Amen! Give Your Life To The Lord, He Loves You SM! 11:11! Lord May You Protect and Guide whoever reads this! Amen! Jesus Loves You SM! THANK YOU JESUS! 222! 444! 555! 111! 333! 888! 777! GOD BLESS EVERYONE! AMEN! I LOVE YOU JESUS SM! 💗
Thank you for sharing. In 1985 a drunk 16 year old hit me head on when I was 18. She wasn't charged! She went to school the following week and bragged about not getting into trouble. My new car was totaled and I had extensive injuries.
I feel your grief and pain, sibling loss is something that isn't talked about. I lost my brother in 2006, he was 26. My sister passed away in June 2022 at 38. As an older sibling they were like my babies. Unfortunately, they both succumb to accidental drug overdoses. After both their deaths I had to get a lot of help. I'm still struggling with my sister's death. I can't imagine losing them all at once. Your strength is inspiring.
Same here. 😭 My lil sister. I still can't breathe sometimes. I feel like I'm flailing about...looking for something to grab hold of. I crave to be near her. To hold her hand....hug her. All I have are her cremains. Heartbroken 4ever.
@@annj7466 I wish I could hug you so bad. I know it wouldn't change anything but I'd do it just to let you know that someone cares. I hope you are blessed with some peace.❤
You are so right about the drunk driver being dead not getting off easy. I once work for an attorney. He had a client that was a 7 TIME drunk driver client. Even the 7th time, he got off with only having probation and a device installed on his car that wouldn't let him start his car unless, when he blew into it, it registered as him being sober. No jail time, ever. I quit shortly after that. I lost a cousin on Christmas Eve to a drunk driver. He was only 12 years old.
So sorry for you and your family's loss. As a mom of 7 children, my heart goes out to your mom ( and dad). I hope I never have my heart broken like this.. God bless you in telling your story to prevent others from driving drunk. Prayers for all involved. ❤
I speak sometimes at like NA, AA meetings and those who struggle with addiction and every time I tell my story about what lide was like as a heroin addict and what could happen, i then share your story on the alcohol subject. Your voice is being heard! All my love and prayers to you snd your family! ❤
Never apologize for your tears. You are honoring their memory with every retelling. Saving so many people with this work. I pray for your family to have peace that passes understanding.
As a mother and similar age to yourself, I completely agree with you. Your dad seeing his children that way would have been devastating. Not to take away from the pain that you experienced seeing them. You truly helped your father. Thank you for your family stories. Prying for all of you ❤
Your family tragedy deeply effected me way too much. Like I'm being too much emotional to hear all of this. Maybe I'm sensitive. I can't... Can't imagine how much your family suffered this pain. I can't imagine it. May God gives your family strength. May your beautiful, innocent siblings remains rest in peace. 🥺💔♥️
I am so sorry you had to go thru this. Many years ago my husband and father were hit Head on by a drunk driver and were killed instantly. I had a 6 month old son who never got to know his father. It's tough. But you are right, it is not an accident, it's murder.
Omg I literally can not even imagine losing my dad and boyfriend at the same time, and we're not even married, nor do we have kids... Ugh I'm so sorry, I really just can not comprehend having to deal something like that 😭
My heart goes out to you and your family. My best friend lost her only two children because of a drunk driver. Their dad, uncle and the drunk driver also died. It was a similar situation. The drunk driver was also traveling on the wrong side of the interstate and hit them head on. I'll never understand why people still choose to drink and drive knowing what can happen.
You are one tough woman to do all that you have done for your family during this time of grief. Never apologize for your tears. Thank you for sharing your story and your heart with all of us. ❤
I am so sorry. My heart breaks for your family. My son was murdered ten years ago, but I can’t imagine losing three children. I wish I could take the pain away. I wouldn’t be here with out God either. Sending prayers, hugs, and so much love.❤️
Been fighting drunk drivers for over sixty years, nothing has changed unfortunately. My family was destroyed by a drunk driver as well. My prayers for healing to you and your family.
Never apologize for crying! You’re grief is valid … I can’t imagine losing my younger brothers like you lost your three youngest siblings… I pray you continue to take your strength from God and that something good will come from this tragedy… may you and your family be blessed and the Lord wraps His arms around you for the rest of your lives… your faith will make you whole once again one day when you meet Lindy, Christopher and Kamryn in Heaven…
IM SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY SWEETGIRL I CANT EVEN IMAGINE WHAT YOU AND YOUR DAD AND BROTHER WENT THROUGH THAT NIGHT YOU ARE AND WERE SO STRONG TO BE THERE TO IDENTIGY YOUR SIBLINGS TO SAVE YOUR DAD WHICH PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO DEAL WITH THAT AT THAT TIME,THERE NEEDS TO BE HEAVY PRISON SENTENCES FOR DRUNK DRIVERS THEY SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THEIR LICENSES BACK IF CAUGHT 1 TIME,I THINK IT WOULD DRASTICALLY CUT DOWN ON TRADGEDYS LIKE THIS HAPPENING GOING FORWARD MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU YOUR PARENTS AND SIBLINGS AND YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW IS SO VERY IMPORTANT TELLING YOUR STORY CAN REALLY EDUCATE OTHERS AND REALLY LET THEM SEE WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU DRINK AND DRIVE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR STORY AS PAINFUL AS IT IS BECAUSE OF LINDEY CAMERON AND CHRISTOPHER IM SURE A LOT OF LIVES WILL BE SAVED BIG HUGS AND PRAYERS FOR YOUR FAMILY ♥
This is honestly the saddest story ever I cry all the time I’m deeply sorry this is horrible pain and no need to say sorry for crying this is heartbreaking you are so strong for sharing your stories with us there memory will live on forever! Praying for ur family’s strength for always
Hello. Thank you sharing your story. I am so sorry for you and your family. I cried with you but can't imagine the pain you carry. I'm glad you mentioned your strength comes from GOD. He is your Comforter. I have a ministry with my brother and we speak to youth often. I will share your story. May GOD BLESS you and your family each day and night. I will be praying for you all. With Love and Faith, Lynne 🍃💜✝️💜🍃
I've been watching your tiktoks for a while, and my heart has broken for you. This is the first time I've heard the story, and, please, let yourself cry. There is so much to cry about in your family's experience. All I pray is that you're able to think of them and smile.
You and your mum have touched me and many people out there. Your loved ones did not transition in vain. You guys have saved more lives than you realize. God bless
Please NEVER apologize for your tears. You lost a lot the evening❤ and you can see that your heart was broken. I am so sad this happened to your family
You are amazing. I I can tell that you are grounded in your faith and very devout. With God all things are possible. He will carry you through this. I believe that your videos and your mothers should be shown in all high schools every year. Perhaps it might save someone’s life. God bless you and I will add you and your family to my prayer list. 🙏🙏🙏
I almost made it through without crying until I looked up the man that murdered your siblings. The article talks about each of them describing who they were & I lost it! I’m so sorry for your loss & like everyone else says you do NOT have to apologize for crying EVER!!!! Thank you for sharing…
My sweetness, don’t you dare apologize for crying. It’s awful. It’s beyond tragic. I can’t stop crying either. I’m praying for your family. I was alone with my 14 yr old best friend when she was killed in a hit and run by a drunk driver. It happened 52 years ago, and I still cry about it. 💔
Idk if you will see this but… I’m so sorry for you’re losses.. but this is a reminder on how precious and valuable life is. I hope you and you’re family are doing well.
Driving under the influence needs to be an automatic attempted murder charge. Even if you don’t hit anyone. Murder if you kill someone. What a selfish terrible thing to do. There’s no excuse. I’m so sorry for your loss
Don't apologize hun, we're crying with you. As a medic I've been on the other side of calls like this, and I feel like I was with you every step. You are so brave honey. Your family is so beautiful and I'm so sorry that you are all going thru this. My heart is with all of you. 💔😭😭😭
My son is in the military. He showed this vid in their holiday weekend safety briefing. Know that your voice is reaching others. 🕊️❤️
that's amazing ❤🙏
A big thank you to your son for his service. ❤
THATS AMAZING. I pray that it helps. My 17 yr old brother, a passenger in his friend's car, was killed by a damn drunk. The driver was fine, and the drunk walked away. Not a scratch. No jail time...nothing.😢
@@angelaedwards5124oticr how the drunk driver always survives & the victims don’t survive? I think it’s because they’re drunk so there body is relaxed during the wreck so when their body hits things it doesn’t do damage to their body like it does the sober victims. I heard this somewhere. Sorry about your brothers friend.
@@angelaedwards5124 i’m sorry to hear that guy got away with it. To add insult to injury, he will not even suffer guilty feelings most likely. Since he was so inebriated, he will have no memory of this event. He may hold himself blameless. We need to have stronger penalties for drunk driving. Getting behind the wheel of a car when you’re drunk is the same as stumbling around with a loaded gun and hoping you don’t accidentally pull the trigger.
Don't be sorry you have every right to grieve 😢
"Why didn't she swerve?" Are you kidding me, the thought never crossed my mind. Some people are so heartless, the only one to blame is the man who hit them.
I've been following this story since shortly after it happened and the thought never crossed my mind either. The only thing I think of is why did that drunk driver get behind the wheel that night. 😢
@@desertgirl30it’s simple they thought they could do it safely and overestimated there driving ability when there drunk. There is a reason I never drive after I drink it’s stupid and very irresponsible.
SOMETIMES swerving WORKS.
@@brianwt1THEIR driving ability. when THEY’RE drunk.
@@brianwt1You DRINK??? You’re VERY STUPID!!!
You never have to apologize for crying telling this story. It's extremely sad and these children are your family.
Yes, never apologize
Yes, she doesn’t ever have to apologize for crying.
❤❤❤
My last name is Vaughn too. It is so sad how many people including our politicians don’t want to make stiffer fines for people that choose to drink and drive.
Exactly , no apologies necessary at all ! Thank you for sharing your story and extreme pain ! God bless you and your family 🙏🏾♥️
Mama, please never apologize for crying. I couldn't imagine going through this. My heart hurts for you so bad.
“The sister that was driving is still stuck in the vehicle.” My heart dropped-
that was her younger sister the month week before Christmas
I owe your family an apology. 2 years ago I got 2 DUI's. Thank God I didn't harm anyone but myself. But this could have been me. This hits me in the gut and I'll NEVER do that again. Im so sorry for your loss and what I did 😢
I’m proud of you for holding yourself accountable for what you did. Not a lot of people would admit to it
Same. And I always should have known better because I got hit Christmas eve 2013 head on by a drunk driver.ive never felt more ashamed. This story reaches so many different hearts.
Haven't drank since and proud of you too
@@kyleerosee3 thank you very much I just can't believe I did that it was so reckless I did hit someone but they had a truck and I had a little Nissan so there was no damage to the vehicle but little did I know and thankfully there was a call across the street I just wouldn't be able to live with myself if I caused the pain of the family that this is going through you have to think before you act and you know what it was over a stupid tattoo! You could lose your kids and I'm sorry 😭
@@aubreemcclennen92 as an ex-addict and ex-alcoholic 10 years clean from heroin and meth and about four now from drinking I think if not more maybe 5:00 I'm not sure I ruined my brain completely with drugs I didn't drive all messed up on drugs though just when I was drinking so I got two DUIs and two years because of that so it's screwed me I still don't have my license back and that's been 5 years plus. In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan it is a very very strict place where I'm at. They don't take DUIs lightly here they take no s*** the I feel terrible for what I've done even just the DUIs part and not even the drug parts that I've done terrible things to you know. But I'm happy I didn't get into an accident and when I was drinking or anything but I did get into an accident get hit on by a drunk driver myself nobody has killed but we sued the s*** out of him. He deserved it and I ended up getting his dog too dog had a broken hip in the accident so as of that Tech I took it on as my own this was Christmas Eve too in 2013 so it's like Christmas socks sucks I just couldn't imagine what this family especially is Mama I apologize deeply deeply deeply for my heart that's why I watch all the videos I watch listen to everything they have to say and support as much as I can because there's nothing I can say or do to make up for even the DUIs I've got f*** the courts that has nothing to do with it it's stories like this that really impacted into my life at least. I just hope you're doing better and I'm proud of you just so that you know from a complete stranger from one to another I understand and I am proud of you
Don't listen to the people who think your dad should've been the one to identify Lindy, Christopher & Kamryn, he was right where he was supposed to be. Your bravery the night of the crash taking on the unthinkable to spare your parents from the pain of having to identify their children is inspiring.
No, I disagree. A parent's job is always to protect his children. This is waaaayyyy too much for this poor you g woman. She needs to put her OWN children and husband d first.
@@missleader5262your reply is unnecessary..it really is..
@@missleader5262their Dad is amazing
@AubreyShelton-rr7yy Ma'am, this is the internet. It's an open forum where people share OPINIONS. I have some experience with giving up my entire life by taking on the grief and responsibilities of my parent. It caused irreparable damage to my marriage and to my relationship with my children. What I'm saying, respectfully, is that it is NOT a child's job to carry a burden for a parent.
@@AubreyShelton-rr7yy He may be. But it is his job to support his wife. This young woman is going to destroy her own family if she keeps this up.
Don't ever apologize for crying sis. I'm crying with you
Me too
Same, I can't even imagine the pain and grief y'all are going through. My deepest condolences.
I shared this with my 22 year old Son who was driving under the influence. He wasn’t caught by the law, but he was caught by ME. Thank you for sharing your very profound loss with the world in attempt to change and save lives.
i hope he will never do that again!
Report him to police
@@princessc660. There is no proof. The police cannot do anything.
@@thewewguy8t88By the time he was caught by mom, he had already driven drunk an average of 7 times. Not his first time, not his last. He just will make sure in the future he doesn't come home to mom & dad.
@@lucyterrier7905 yeah that does not surprise me sadly does he keep saying he won't do it again everytime he was caught or does he just act like it's no big deal and gets upset everyone is upset with him and says stupid stuff like I drive better while drunk or something like that.
My heart hurts for this family. Please people don't drink and drive!
Why would anyone ask why Lindy didn't swerve.
That is a horribly callous and thoughtless thing to think or say out loud.
Your family was driving home in the correct direction. They were doing nothing wrong.
There’s no time to swerve when someone is travelling 90 km/h straight in your direction especially at night, some people are very stupid and have no common sense
Not only that, she said it was really foggy. Sometimes you can't tell where the other car is and by the time she saw it, it was too late.
Hi...I am reading this from NIreland...just don't know how you have got through this tragic incident. The loss you must be feeling is really unimaginable. I guess it's the wee quiet moments when you miss them most. Really feel for you and your family. You did do well with the video. Your siblings would be so proud of all that you are doing. Take care.
You are such a soldier of christ.your deep faith carries through this devastating storm .keep spreading the message ..no drinking and driving ever.
Stiffer penalties for the blatantly and selfish reckless out there.
Bless you, Katie. I mourn your loss...
PREACH!!!!! DUI crashes should have higher penalties, the current system is reprehensible.
It is murder. The weapon used is a car. I said the same thing when my only child was killed by a driver who got high. This is the most unbearable pain anyone can go threw. Thank you for sharing your story and fighting for your family.
I’m so so sorry 💔 I saw a TH-cam short of your dad putting lights on your siblings crosses 😔 ….and I’ve been watching your family videos since. Thank you for sharing your story 💕
I am so very sorry for your loss as well Lisa. May God give you the strength to go on each day ❤
I'm so sorry for the loss of your child. May God bless you 🙏
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I am so sorry fornyou and your family. I despise drink drivers they are murders in my.opinion. Sending love and prayers from Scotland.
Sending hugs to you Lisa. I am so sorry. Love from Australia ❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️
Drunk drivers who cause fatalities ARE murderers, and it’s an unfathomable shame that they aren’t prosecuted as 1st degree murderers. You’re an incredibly strong woman, and I’m sure that your siblings would smile if they could see how you save lives with their story.
I wish you and your family all the best ❤
Someone dropped the ball by leaking all this before the family even had a chance to be told no one should ever have to learn that there loved one have passed in this manner
Agree 💯. Everyone knows those people who seem to relish telling people about anything tragic, and the deaths that result from them. Because they've never been in the position of having someone *they* love being involved in a tragedy. This is a side message. *Don't* be that person. They need to have some empathy or bare minimum, have some *decency* and respect for those involved. They were someone's loved ones.
Agree. My ex SIL found out about my niece's death(her daughter) on FB. That's disgusting to me.
Yes!
@@ccMomOfJaysIt really is. Only heartless people do that.
Found out about my mom from Facebook, doesn't fucking matter you find out anyways. I didn't beleive it, until I heard it from my dad. He never said she passed away" or something like, nope just a good ol "your moms dead" yea. I don't give a fuck about anything anymore fuck all peace
Don't ever apologize for crying and grieving the loss of family members, please. You have every right to grieve and my heart goes out to you and the rest of the family. :(
I don't know where she gets her strength. I'd be in a straight jacket. Her brother and sisters will be so proud of her telling their story and getting the message across of the damage you can do getting behind the wheel impared.
I agree. I love your courage to share this horrendous event.
Facts
💔 Taking on the responsibility of searching for your siblings was an incredibly brave & loving act. I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. It’s unimaginable. Thank you for enduring the emotional labour it must take to share this tragedy.
This story will always reduce me to tears, so please don't apologise for your grief. My heart breaks for what your family endured and still are enduring. My thoughts and love are with you 💗
❤ this video should be mandatory for 16 year olds wanting to drive
I took a driving class a little over a decade ago and I saw a video about a driver who speed-raced and killed someone. It broke my heart 😢
Every year starting in middle school.
A teenager didn’t murder these children. John Lundy was an older man. Yes, educate the teens. But how do we teach adult men with decades of toxic addictions.
Also for anyone who has been charged with a DUI.
Anyone - young or old ...
Especially a ' first - timer ' .
My heart goes out to this brave , beautiful family and their friends .
Thank You , God , for giving them the strength they desperately need as they go forward with their lives ...❤
I agree to the point that I’ve talked to my son and he’s not letting his kids (I have two beautiful grandkids by him) get their license until age 18. Plus they Have To Listen and Learn about this family, and then share this with their friends!! My son has Pound into their heads and hearts that an automobile is a TWO TON DEATH MACHINE since they were 10 years old!!
As far as other drivers that make wrong choices…not much we can do but EDUCATE!! But we gotta START SOMEWHERE!!! ❤❤❤
You never ever apologize for crying .I'm so very sorry for your loss. Leave it to a drunk driver to wipe out a complete family.
a “drunk idiot” great word choice for the guy who caused all of this. Praying for your family 🙏🏽
I just found ur channel. I am so sorry for ur loss. My son’s were hit in 2012 by a drunk driver. My 19 yr old held his 18yr old brother as he died. You are very strong to share their story and raise awareness. Prayers and hugs to you all.
I am so sorry for your loss 😢 !
Sorry for ur loss 💜🙏💜🙏
Sorry for your loss. Sending prayers 🙏💐
I can’t imagine. So sorry 🙏💔
Oh dear God.
YOU are strong for letting others know of you and your older son's loss.
My sons are close in age as well and I could easily see one holding and comforting the other in a horrible situation.
You and your family suffered such a horrible loss. My heart truly aches for you.
Why didn't she swerve?!
Holy shit. Imagine victim blaming in this situation. How absolutely disgusting.
I am so so incredibly sorry that you and your family had to go through something so horrific and traumatizing.
Your siblings are so proud of you. I know they're watching over you and your family, watching you change the world by sharing your story.❤
Victim blaming is all to common in these situations. I too was hit by a drunk driver and somehow survived by a miracle. I can say I even have family ask me why didn’t I avoid. It’s crazy. People don’t understand unless they’re in it. I’m a really good driver but predicting the moves of a drunk person behind the wheel at night is not easy and not always possible. Maybe she did swerve but he may have as well. It’s so hard to say and so unfair. 😔
Foggy ...
I’m so sorry for your loss. I was a triplet I had two identical brothers on Christmas Eve we were all going to my parents house they and there Families were in one vehicle and I was in a vehicle following behind them. A drunk driver made me the only one left out of the triplet I saw the accident first hand it’s been hard every Christmas. I have cried over your family’s murder and I have prayed for you as well. May the peace of GOD keep you in his hand especially during the Christmas season. Thank you for sharing
I am so very sorry for ur loss. 🙏🙏🙏
It's not called murder.
@@irenemorley75You can call it whatever you wish when you experience this.
@@irenemorley75 You can call yourself a flower, if it makes you sound better but you're still an a**hole. Last I checked vehicular manslaughter is murder without intent, in a car. Also if one makes a decision that KILLS others, that's murder. You could argue all you want but if you aren't experiencing the grief of those whose loved one was killed, your opinion doesn't count and it doesn't change the fact that someone was killed by another.
@@irenemorley75yes it is murder!
I was 11 the summer of 1997. I was in the car when we were t-boned by an under aged drunk driver who ran the stop sign. I saw him coming before he hit us. I had a nightmare about it a few days before. When I came conscious I looked up and saw my Mom's lifeless body in front of me and my Dad unconscious with his head cut open. My Dad lived for 16 years and 10 days after that with a constant headache that never went away. Brain damage. And he missed his wife for that many years every day. We lost our Mom. I will be blessed the day I get to see them again. ❤love and prayers for you and your family! So grateful families are forever
My friend's brother was 13 in 1997 when he was run over by a drunk 27 year old woman.
I'm so sorry about your parents and what you've gone through. My granddaughter will be 11 next month. I just ache for the little girl you were. No child (or anyone) should go through that. ❤🙏
🙏🏾🤍🙏🏾🤍🙏🏾🤍🙏🏾😬
I have cried for you and your family I have no words for how sad it makes me feel for all of you God is going to see you all through this tragedy Ian so sorry for your loss keep doing what ever it takes your family to get through this grief keep God first in young life many Blessings to you all .
This just broke my heart...I was hit by a drunk driver and still live with the after math. There is no justice when lives are ruined. They get to live where others don't. They get to move freely while others are confined to bed or wheel chairs.
I give you a lot of credit for your bravery and keep shouting the message. Don't drink, get high and then get behind the wheel.
Never apologize for crying about this story. Your siblings were special. You spread your message as best you can
Do not EVER apologize for crying when you do these videos. You are very strong to do this. Thank you for adding awareness. I hate the fact that you lost your 3 siblings.
I wish I could hug you. In 1999, my 15 year old niece was killed in a drunk driving accident. My mom, stepfather, and I went to the hospital to identify her body. I am crying right along with you because she looked exactly like you described your sister and brother. For me, it never gets easier telling her story. God Bless you and your family.
That man is a murderer plain and simple! This family lost 3 young angels! I'm so sorry for your loss🙏🙏🙏
As hard as it was, you did exactly what you needed to do for your father. My older sister was murdered by her estranged husband back in 1992. Our brother identified her body. He is still of the belief that them identifying her would have completely destroyed our parents, especially mom. We'll continue to pray for His peace to surround you all during this time of grieving.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I agree with your brother completely, my 20 year old son passed away suddenly, I couldn't bring myself to identify him, my brother offered but a police officer did it for me. Blessings from Australia. ❤
Amen 🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss!

Don’t ever apologize for the tears you shed because that just shows how much your sisters and brother mean to you.
My heart breaks for your family and you. When my son was 11,his best friend was killed by a drunk driver. It haunts him to this day and he’s 50 years old.
The news outlets should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. That should’ve never hit social media before the family was told what happened. This is absolutely devastating on top of everything else. I’m so sorry you and your family went through this.❤
My thoughts exactly!!! That was the ULTIMATE DISRESPECT to the families. I couldn't imagine scrolling on FB, come up on an article about a fatal crash, and find out that it's my own family that I am reading about. That was ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!😡
Their only concern is being first to report.
When tragic events such as this take place those that are in shock and pain firstly have to stress about informing loved ones before social media does.
It's criminal.
I watched the aftermath of a fatal motorcycle accident. He had landed in front of some lakeside condos, on a busy street, rush hour traffic. They put up a sheet between this poor man and the building but he was in full view of 5 mph traffic, as they roughly ripped off his clothes, the whole preliminary investigation stuff. I was really upset because you could see people with their phones out and I thought this man, his family deserved more respect. It seemed to me that people in the condos were given more courtesy than him. He was all over social media, before he his family was even aware that he was gone. I know how they must have felt, because I wasn't told about my mother for months, even though I wasn't lost or hard to find. They had her quietly cremated and a jar of ashes labelled with her name, birthdate, death date on the lid, was left at my door. No note, nothing. Worse is my neighbor found it and knocked on my door. It was awful. I lost so many people in 3 years, both parents, both of my in laws, best friends, uncles, aunts, all were sudden, accidents, aggressive cancer, self inflicted harm , terminal illness, none of them age related. It is still hard to believe. I cannot say I know another's personal experiences or how they feel or should feel but I know how much it hurt to lose one and then it compounded with this unreal feeling that comes with multiple losses back to back. You just start to wonder when life is going to stop punching you in the gut and if you will ever get up. My heart goes out to this young woman and her family. I'm grateful that her story is actively saving lives. ❤❤❤
When our son died I had to read people's comments who were on tbe scene and detailing the graphic things that I should have never known. Eventually the news station removed the woman's comments but that hurt so much. I already was panic stricken thinking my 16 year old son, my baby, and a mommas boy may have been yelling for me and this lady details of the moment they died! It was sickening. Thankfully my son was completely unconscious and did not feel any pain. He lived briefly but they could not have saved him.
It has helped me find my family members in the past. I understand it's difficult finding out this way but I have found out about my family and was actually able to be with my loved ones at the scene. I live in a smaller city.
My dad and his dog were killed by a drunk driver while crossing the street last February. The waiting for trial thing has just made this feel like it’s never ending. My heart is with your and your family ♥️
I'm very sorry about your father and his beloved pet and I'm sorry that you and your family have to be re-traumatized by the trial. Prayers for strength and comfort through God as well as your remaining family and friends.
I am so sorry. I've lost my parents and my sister, but not at the hands of a drunk irresponsible driver. It's so hard anyway, but to have to know it was at the hands of someone else is horrible. I will keep you in my prayers. ✝️🙏💞
@@lansteadlathis is one of the saddest things I’ve ever read. At least they had each other in that moment. I’m so sorry.
Omg I'm so sorry 😢 I'm s dog lover and that is just terrible 😪
So sorry for u loss my prayers for u family
❤In an instant….a split second a life can change forever! I have told my children over and over again that being behind the wheel of a car is a huge responsibility and whom ever is in your car is also your responsibility! I was an Er trauma nurse for 40 years and have not only lost my son but have dealt with these same pains for all these years. My heart aches for all of you. The stories I hold in my heart are many and all so tragic and devastating! I often relive those “scenes” which I did share with my children but I don’t share them with anyone else…..my nursing friends and I are the only People that understand what it is like to hold these memories for a lifetime. Thank you for sharing and Praise to Jesus and our Lord who gets me they every day!❤🙏🔥✝️
Don't ever be sorry for crying while telling your story because from great love comes grief. I lost my 18 y/o son, Dylan, in a tragic car accident on 6/27/14. My heart breaks for your parents, you, and your family. The grief of losing a child or sibling in such a traumatic way stays with you always. Thank you for sharing your story with us. It is very brave of you to try and help others. May God continue to lead, guide, and bless you all!😇😇😇🙏
You are an AMAZING SISTER, DAUGHTER and MOTHER, you never have to apologize for crying. You are a wonderful voice for your siblings and family. Your siblings memory will live on and others lives will be saved through your advocacy against Drunk Driving. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know I am so proud of you for telling your story and so many others are too. Thank you
Get to the point so long drawn out
@@bernadettebarry3099 You are unbelievably RUDE
@@bernadettebarry3099Your a asshole. Maybe you don't have family or anyone pass away it's devastating. Your a horrible horrible person. No one made you watch the video. I feel sorry for anyone who knows you. Your an embarrassment.
@@bernadettebarry3099 what a discusting remark you should be totaly ashamed of your self you unfeeling discusting person
You are such a strong woman for your family.
My dear, NEVER apologize for your grief and tears; for they are the evidence that we have loved and were loved deeply! Drunk driving is a real problem; one that has hit our own family hard as well. You are so brave to share your story and those of your siblings, and they NEED to be heard! Many hugs, love, and prayers for you and yours!
I dont know if it happens to all of us. But when my brother passed away and they told me the time he passed, i thought to myself "I was shoe shopping at his time of passing. Completely unaware that in just a few moments, my life was going to be forever changed" 😢
Personally I think Lindy started to swerve she faced it head on and I think she tried to put herself in the line of that car hoping everyone else would make it. I think her slight movement saved your mom and Marissa. I think the fog obstructed her view and that slight movement saved 2 lives. So I see her as a hero. Much love from a Canadian grandma in Alberta who loves Louisiana.
My mom thinks the same thing 🥺 she thinks she wanted to save my mom
24:16 I’m so very sorry for your loss and pain. I’m so glad you were able to keep God first having faith and knowing you are not alone and He will turn your mourning into joy Isaiah 61:3 “…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair”.
I 100% agree with this. Lindy prob did swerve like all other cars trying to protect everyone, but the drunkard most likely swerved with her. There is only so much time to make such a quick decision. She is a hero.
God love her. When you get behind the wheel impared you are a murderer you might make it 1 time but there's going to be a time when you don't. I implore anyone who knows someone who drinks drive to turn them in to the police before they cause a tragedy like this.
The car taking more damage on the drivers side indicates she started to swerve but there was no time because a car in front of her swerved first. Lindy did what she could but didn’t have time to save them all although I think she tried.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your 3 siblings. My condolences goes out to you, your husband, your siblings friends and your parents. Please don’t ever apologize for crying/grieving 🤍🤍🤍🕊️🕊️🕊️💔💔💔
This horrific accident is the worst family tragedy that I know of, ever. (And I am a nurse for 25 years) I never stop thinking of this family and I pray for their peace. All of the medical community knows of this tragedy and we continue to love them all.
If you’re ready for a good cry, look up the Peckler family tragedy in 1997. (Judy Peckler of Los Gatos, Ca. if you need a google search.) That family lost dad, sister and brother. Mom and two sisters were at home and not in the accident. Jeff (the son killed) was hilarious and really well liked. He wrote and performed a convincing short persuasive essay about why bread always falls butter side down 🤣. (I went to middle school with him. If I recall properly he was killed freshmen or sophomore year.) Anyway… the family found motivation and has done a lot of good community things to keep memories alive and advocate and educate. It was a drunk driver - a local of a small town that the killed Pecklers were driving through on a snow trip.
Many years ago there was a crash involving the death of 3 very young children. The parents went on to have 3 more, the exact gender of the ones killed. They were on Oprah. It was a very heartbreaking story.
@handbagdiva i've seen plenty of vehicles online with their rear ends pancaked all the way to the front seats. which are a result of highway breakdowns, or morons speeding into stopped traffic.
@@nunyabusiness2945What a heartbreaking tragedy! That poor family put through so much pain because someone had to drive under the influence. I’m going to google their story and support them in their work. The strength of some brave ppl continues to amaze me! Blessings to that family!
Here in Delaware a few years ago there was a crash that killed the father and all 3 daughters and the only one that survived was the mother….they were on the way home to New Jersey from vacation….i drove passed the aftermath of that one and it was horrible! I couldn’t imagine waking up horribly injured and learning your the only left and the asshole not even in the hospital and his passenger either….he fell asleep at the wheel in the middle of the day and crossed the highway including median and all and hit them and another car
I survived a drunkdriver accident. He was a minor no papers no Insurance drunk and still approached my bed at the hospital and told me I am sorry. It's been 26 years since my accident in Sourh Texas. I suffer from lower back pains from time to time. ThankGod I am alive for my two daughters whom are very unappreciative in this,lifetime. Sometime I feel 6 feet above ground no sense in living. It hits me from time to time
Life is short. After our kids are growm and we did our jobs raising them, its okay to live fpr you! Make it a life well lived. ❤
God still has a purpose for you - talk to Him about it, He loves you soooo much! 😊
I pray that your children will become appreciative. I'm sorry for your pain and heartache. Again, talk to God . . .
August 2003, 6 members of our family were killed by a drunk driver. My niece and her 4 kids, and her 14 yr old brother. A 7th member survived with horrible injuries.
My niece’s husband was a cop and was the 2nd one on scene.
“A car crash has left a KELOLAND police officer mourning his wife, four children and a teenage brother-in-law. And investigators say a drunk driver killed them.
The accident happened near Waubay last night. Officials say 25-year-old Jason Cleveland of Watertown crossed the center line in his pickup and crashed head-on into a car carrying 23-year-old Leah Redday of Waubay and five children.
When a KELOLAND police officer responded to Saturday's crash, he learned the traffic accident was also a personal tragedy. Now, a small community is mourning an entire family.”
My condolences to you ❤
I’m so sorry this happened. Drunk driving has got to be STOPPED.😠
I'm so sorry for the loss... and for what he endured.
Sorry for your loss
Oh sweetie, my heart breaks for you. My dad died in a horrible car accident 17 years ago and I still can’t tell the story without crying. The pain of losing the people you love will never fade. RIP to your siblings.
You are an angel. You saved your dad from a lifetime of memories of seeing them deceased. He will remember them the way they were alive.
You don’t have to apologize for crying. You are a strong women like your mom and dad..God bless you❤❤❤❤❤
Your voice matters. Even to someone that has lived 27 years after losing my baby sister. In March 1996, after 3 days of snow days I just wanted to get out of the house, I asked my younger sis if she wanted to go pick up our older sister at work and use her subaway stamps to get her favorite sub. On our way home I hit a patch of blow over snow/ice and crossed the center line where I hit a delivery van head on. I was critically injured. My older sister was uninsured. My baby sister was buckled in the backseat and she was killed. They said it was instant (a hinge type broken neck)and I will take it to my grave to save my parents the agony of knowing it was not instant. Tonight I was scrolling through TH-cam and one of your videos was recommended… tonight. At 44 years old I realized something new. You said “I am not the same person I was.” And it hit me so hard I sobbed realizing that I will never know what kind of adult person I would have been. I’ll never know a lot of things. What I do know is this. You don’t EVER have to apologize for those tears, they will hit you at the weirdest moments and you’ll have no control, that’s ok, it’s similar to laughing- an emotional response triggered and sent. Cry. Cry sad tears, cry happy tears, cry tears of resolve and strength, just let it fly. One more thing I know now and hope it may help you… too many people told me things they thought would comfort or help- they meant well but had NO idea what I was going through… “time heals all wounds” is one of my least favorites. Time doesn’t heal this. Time allows you to get a better grasp on doing life without people that were like limbs to us. Time will allow a callus to form so it’s not on the surface blaring into the world, it becomes a dull empty spot in us that we know is there and one day you will realize it’s not as obvious as it once was. I am amazed by your strength and resilience, your voice means so much to so many and you will find new and creative paths to make your message heard, I know this too. ❤
@jayjaystevens6180 You are correct; you and we will never know the person you would have been without the terrible tragedy you have endured. Having read your beautiful, empathetic, wise words, it struck me that you are the human version of the majestic Sequoia tree, that is only able to exist because of devastating, killing fires, that enable the cones to open & the seed to have a place to sprout and grow. Our Creator has a purpose for every unique one of us. Sadly, what doesn't kill us really does make us stronger, if we are smart enough to learn from our tragedies. You, dear heart, have a passion & ability to write that connects with other humans. I pray that you continue to share your gift & talent with those broken hearts who need your compassion so desperately. Thank you for your honesty & insight, I would be proud to call you my friend and am grateful you lived to share the same world.
@@strongheartwoman1931 Her comment to this video and your response to her comment have me in absolute tears right now. Blessings to all of you!
@@zariballard Thank you for your sweet words! I'm touched that my comment connected with you and your dear heart. Many blessings to you and yours!
100% Truth, I can't stand that remark. Time heals all wounds? Like hell it does. You learn to live a different kind of normal. I've never wondered who I might of been but I do wonder who my son would of married, would they have children? Blessings from Australia. xx
This breaks my heart. Useless people driving drunk destroy so much.😢
We're all crying with you Katie, please don't apologize for it. ❤
Oh sweetie, my heart is broken. I'm so sorry that you and your family had to go through this. I wish I could give you a hug. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You did a great job explaining your situation. And I am sorry for your loss. I lost my cousin over 50yrs ago by a drunk. It was my aunt and uncle's only child. They never were the same. Unfortunately holiday parties always have brought out the drunks. I wish you success in your reaching out to the public.
Oh my, I am lost for words. I am so sorry for you and your family. My heart hurts for you all. God bless the children in Heaven 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️.
A drunk driver hit my niece head on , same circumstance. She was 17 and it was her birthday . Prayers and hugs for you all. 🙏🙏🙏😊
Reading body language... Every time she looks to the left and right, she is literally seeing it... Reaching for the memory! My heart breaks for her! May God be with them all!!♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
I've just had the privilege of seeing a presentation, on line, by Katie's mother Dawn. The strength, determination, and bravery gene is obviously strong in this family. Don't be ashamed to shed a few tears, it shows your deep love for your siblings, and if you can't cry at a tragic time like this when can you. To the people that ask daft, insensitive questions like why didn't she swerve? The other driver (yes the murderer) was doing 90mph. Lyndsey was doing 75 mph a combined impact speed of 165mph. By the time she'd seen the other driver it would have been too late. Stop asking fool questions like this is your tragedy. Katie, you are in my prayers and my admiration for you and your family in trying to prevent someone else suffering the same grief is stratospheric❤❤❤
I almost had this happen to me. You can’t spot the car like every says, especially if you’re behind a vehicle. I got lucky and moved in time but it was to close
It’s not a gene its Jesus only Jesus can give the peace and comfort required to endure such grief..
@@staci5799 WHAT ?🙄
Also, it was foggy and you don't expect a car to be coming at you. It's confusing.
@@staci5799it’s a gene God created these people with!
I know this is not my grief, and I've heard your story before and commented on the music video. But honey, every time I hear what you and your family went through, it breaks my heart and I cry for you all. It is because of your voice that I don't use my phone while driving anymore. I don't drink but I am more aware of not being distracted while.driving. I always remember you in my prayers.❤❤ May God continue to bless you all.
ive thought for many years drunk drivers who kill should be charged with 1st degree murder because it is an intentional act to drink then drive they made the choice should carry life sentence
My family extend our deepest sympathy, I was a medic for 30 years and those calls you never forget, I want you to know that you have a group of people that feel your pain because the first responders live with your pain we just are really good at hiding it reach out to them
Thank you for your service. And for the comfort you are giving her and all the thousands of others.
Never apologize for crying while talking about this terrible thing that happened to your family. Your video should be shown everywhere. The people that drink and drive need to understand that their choice to drink and drive can cause horrible consequences to other innocent people around them. They can do grievous harm that can never be fixed. I’m so, so sorry for your loss. 💕🙏🏻
You have NO REASON to be sorry about anything. Your voice is being heard.
Thank You!! You quite possibly are saving lives. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Baby girl don’t apologize for crying. You’ve been through an enormous tragedy losing so much in a very short span. They did not pass alone, Jesus never left them. Much love to you sweetheart, y’all have been added to my prayer list ❤️
I am very proud of my self when I tell people that o don’t like alcohol! I am 38 years old and never ever liked alcohol.
I don’t like cigarettes or drugs should I be proud of myself for that no I just made smart choices alcohol is a slippery slope though just like the things I mentioned. I don’t mind alcohol but I never drink and drive and I’m not around people when I do.
I truly cannot imagine dealing with this kind of tragedy. It seems impossible to process. I'm so very sorry. Thank you for spreading awareness and sharing you family's story. I wish no one ever had to experience this
It never ceases to amaze me when someone like you comes along and takes this unimaginative experience and turns it around to teach and help others not to experience what your family has. Your strength, commitment and compassion truly show what kind of person you are. You are honoring the lives of your siblings and friend every day, by reaching out to others. ❤️
My they rest peacefully with Jesus, May your family be blessed with Love, strength, and unity! God Bless! Yes! I Trust And Believe In God! Amen! Give Your Life To The Lord, He Loves You SM! 11:11! Lord May You Protect and Guide whoever reads this! Amen! Jesus Loves You SM! THANK YOU JESUS! 222! 444! 555! 111! 333! 888! 777! GOD BLESS EVERYONE! AMEN! I LOVE YOU JESUS SM! 💗
Continue to speak your story! The world needs it! 🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔😡😡
Thank you for sharing. In 1985 a drunk 16 year old hit me head on when I was 18. She wasn't charged! She went to school the following week and bragged about not getting into trouble. My new car was totaled and I had extensive injuries.
I feel your grief and pain, sibling loss is something that isn't talked about. I lost my brother in 2006, he was 26. My sister passed away in June 2022 at 38. As an older sibling they were like my babies. Unfortunately, they both succumb to accidental drug overdoses. After both their deaths I had to get a lot of help. I'm still struggling with my sister's death. I can't imagine losing them all at once. Your strength is inspiring.
Same here. 😭 My lil sister. I still can't breathe sometimes. I feel like I'm flailing about...looking for something to grab hold of. I crave to be near her. To hold her hand....hug her. All I have are her cremains. Heartbroken 4ever.
@@annj7466 I wish I could hug you so bad. I know it wouldn't change anything but I'd do it just to let you know that someone cares. I hope you are blessed with some peace.❤
I lost my older sister in 2011, middle sister in 2013 and my brother in 2019. It has been hard.

You are so right about the drunk driver being dead not getting off easy. I once work for an attorney. He had a client that was a 7 TIME drunk driver client. Even the 7th time, he got off with only having probation and a device installed on his car that wouldn't let him start his car unless, when he blew into it, it registered as him being sober. No jail time, ever. I quit shortly after that. I lost a cousin on Christmas Eve to a drunk driver. He was only 12 years old.
So sorry for you and your family's loss. As a mom of 7 children, my heart goes out to your mom ( and dad). I hope I never have my heart broken like this.. God bless you in telling your story to prevent others from driving drunk. Prayers for all involved. ❤
I'm so sorry for the loss of your 3 siblings. They looked so beautiful. May they rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐🕊🕊🕊
I speak sometimes at like NA, AA meetings and those who struggle with addiction and every time I tell my story about what lide was like as a heroin addict and what could happen, i then share your story on the alcohol subject. Your voice is being heard! All my love and prayers to you snd your family! ❤
Don’t apologize for your grief sweetheart, you have every right to cry. Such a hard story for all is to hear. God bless you dear .❤
Never apologize for your tears. You are honoring their memory with every retelling. Saving so many people with this work. I pray for your family to have peace that passes understanding.
As a mother and similar age to yourself, I completely agree with you. Your dad seeing his children that way would have been devastating. Not to take away from the pain that you experienced seeing them. You truly helped your father. Thank you for your family stories. Prying for all of you ❤
Your family tragedy deeply effected me way too much. Like I'm being too much emotional to hear all of this. Maybe I'm sensitive. I can't... Can't imagine how much your family suffered this pain. I can't imagine it. May God gives your family strength. May your beautiful, innocent siblings remains rest in peace. 🥺💔♥️
I am so sorry you had to go thru this. Many years ago my husband and father were hit Head on by a drunk driver and were killed instantly. I had a 6 month old son who never got to know his father. It's tough. But you are right, it is not an accident, it's murder.
I’m so sorry to hear about this horrible tragedy I pray that you and your family find strength and peace through all of this
You’re an amazing person
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢❤
Omg I literally can not even imagine losing my dad and boyfriend at the same time, and we're not even married, nor do we have kids... Ugh I'm so sorry, I really just can not comprehend having to deal something like that 😭
My heart goes out to you and your family. My best friend lost her only two children because of a drunk driver. Their dad, uncle and the drunk driver also died. It was a similar situation. The drunk driver was also traveling on the wrong side of the interstate and hit them head on. I'll never understand why people still choose to drink and drive knowing what can happen.
You are one tough woman to do all that you have done for your family during this time of grief. Never apologize for your tears. Thank you for sharing your story and your heart with all of us. ❤
I'm at the beginning of your story and THANK GOD your little girl didn't make a fuss about not going and said "that's fine. I don't need to go."
I am so sorry. My heart breaks for your family. My son was murdered ten years ago, but I can’t imagine losing three children. I wish I could take the pain away. I wouldn’t be here with out God either. Sending prayers, hugs, and so much love.❤️
Been fighting drunk drivers for over sixty years, nothing has changed unfortunately. My family was destroyed by a drunk driver as well. My prayers for healing to you and your family.
Never apologize for crying! You’re grief is valid … I can’t imagine losing my younger brothers like you lost your three youngest siblings… I pray you continue to take your strength from God and that something good will come from this tragedy… may you and your family be blessed and the Lord wraps His arms around you for the rest of your lives… your faith will make you whole once again one day when you meet Lindy, Christopher and Kamryn in Heaven…
Omg, please don't apologize for crying!!!! You have every right to cry!!!
IM SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY SWEETGIRL I CANT EVEN IMAGINE WHAT YOU AND YOUR DAD AND BROTHER WENT THROUGH THAT NIGHT YOU ARE AND WERE SO STRONG TO BE THERE TO IDENTIGY YOUR SIBLINGS TO SAVE YOUR DAD WHICH PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO DEAL WITH THAT AT THAT TIME,THERE NEEDS TO BE HEAVY PRISON SENTENCES FOR DRUNK DRIVERS THEY SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THEIR LICENSES BACK IF CAUGHT 1 TIME,I THINK IT WOULD DRASTICALLY CUT DOWN ON TRADGEDYS LIKE THIS HAPPENING GOING FORWARD MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU YOUR PARENTS AND SIBLINGS AND YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW IS SO VERY IMPORTANT TELLING YOUR STORY CAN REALLY EDUCATE OTHERS AND REALLY LET THEM SEE WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU DRINK AND DRIVE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR STORY AS PAINFUL AS IT IS BECAUSE OF LINDEY CAMERON AND CHRISTOPHER IM SURE A LOT OF LIVES WILL BE SAVED BIG HUGS AND PRAYERS FOR YOUR FAMILY ♥

Hello. Thank you sharing your story. I am so sorry for you and your family. I cried with you but can't imagine the pain you carry. I'm glad you mentioned your strength comes from GOD.

I've been watching your tiktoks for a while, and my heart has broken for you. This is the first time I've heard the story, and, please, let yourself cry. There is so much to cry about in your family's experience. All I pray is that you're able to think of them and smile.
You and your mum have touched me and many people out there. Your loved ones did not transition in vain. You guys have saved more lives than you realize. God bless
Please NEVER apologize for your tears. You lost a lot the evening❤ and you can see that your heart was broken. I am so sad this happened to your family
I don't know how you got thru this story w/only a few tears. You're a very strong woman! Never apologize for your grief.
You are amazing. I I can tell that you are grounded in your faith and very devout. With God all things are possible. He will carry you through this. I believe that your videos and your mothers should be shown in all high schools every year. Perhaps it might save someone’s life. God bless you and I will add you and your family to my prayer list. 🙏🙏🙏
12:15 don’t you apologise darlin. You’re so brave. I’m sending you so much love right now xoxo ❤ 🙏🏼
I almost made it through without crying until I looked up the man that murdered your siblings. The article talks about each of them describing who they were & I lost it! I’m so sorry for your loss & like everyone else says you do NOT have to apologize for crying EVER!!!! Thank you for sharing…
The same thing happened when I was in my early 20's a drunk driver going in the wrong direction down the highway, hit and killed a young man.
Can you tell where to find the article? The article title and writer? I'd like to learn about these people who were murdered.
Can You Please Send Me the Article😊
My sweetness, don’t you dare apologize for crying. It’s awful. It’s beyond tragic. I can’t stop crying either. I’m praying for your family. I was alone with my 14 yr old best friend when she was killed in a hit and run by a drunk driver. It happened 52 years ago, and I still cry about it. 💔
You are a sister, woman, strong mother, you have told with immense dignity that God bless all of you, give you strength ❤😢😢😢
Idk if you will see this but… I’m so sorry for you’re losses.. but this is a reminder on how precious and valuable life is. I hope you and you’re family are doing well.
Tears are the physical manifestation of our grief ..let them flow ...your grief is beyond measure 😢
Driving under the influence needs to be an automatic attempted murder charge. Even if you don’t hit anyone. Murder if you kill someone. What a selfish terrible thing to do. There’s no excuse. I’m so sorry for your loss
we need to figure out how to not make everything worse. maybe create a humanity that doesn't require drunkenness to get through life.
God is with you honey! Remember Footprints! You took his hand and God will continue to walk with you always! You are an amazing woman!❤❤❤
if they did that the prison would be so overcrowded.Maybe auto license revoked for 5 yrs for 1st DUI .The laws have gotten tougher though.
Vehicular Homicide .
Excessive speed and following too closely should be, then, too -- and those are choices made by SOBER people every day, all day.
Don't apologize hun, we're crying with you. As a medic I've been on the other side of calls like this, and I feel like I was with you every step. You are so brave honey. Your family is so beautiful and I'm so sorry that you are all going thru this. My heart is with all of you. 💔😭😭😭
