Father mourns loss of kids in suspected DUII crash
Two teens were killed in the crash near Brownsville.

Caleb, shelby marisa woloszyn."

It's a parent's worst nightmare.

An early morning call or knock on the door... to inform you your child has been in a wreck.

Early saturday morning, a sweet home father got the call all three of his children had been in a wreck caused by an alleged drunk driver.

Right now, he's by the side of his youngest daughter, kylee ann, who survived.

6:12 my kids, anybody who knows my kids knows they never did anything alone they were always together.

:20 that saturday morning they were returning from seeing their mother...amy, a vet in brownsville where they had taken their injured dog... darby.

They never made it home.

And jim got the call.

7:01 and she just said, jim, it's really bad, it's really, really bad.

:05 he went numb...and went to the scene.

19 year old caleb frank had died.

16 year old shelby rose and 15 year old kylee ann were rushed to riverbend.

Soon jim as told shelby didn't make it and he needed to tell kylee.

11:44 i just grabbed her hand and i told her caleb frank and shelby rose both died, and she said, daddy, i want to cry but i can't move my chest, and she said, but we told each other we loved each other, and we just kept telling each other we loved each other.

:06 jim says as farm kids...and working with animals... they're no strangers to death, and not all lovey dovey.

10:52 they were each other's best friends but they also thought each other was gross& they weren't that way& i believe they knew what was happening.

:06 for various reasons, jim says caleb saved kylee's life.

He says that was caleb.

Sensitive and quiet, always watching out for and supporting his sisters.

13:13 caleb would be 20 on the 9th of june and even at that age there was never a show they went to, or a trip to the feed store that caleb frank wasn't there& he was never asked, he was just there.

:29 shelby rose... was all about animals.

And jim says since she was twelve she was considered the family matriarch.

14:36 she just was&she was the one that bound our family.

She was a peacemaker, she just never got hot.

:45 the youngest... kylee ann.

Head strong.

16:06 and out of all three kids, i think if one can survive this, it's her, because she's stronger than everyone else.

:15 he says the three of him, were his dream.

Jim says never grew up saying he wanted to be a firefighter or police officer.

His story was he always wanted to be a dad, and in recent years found himself telling the children that story more and more.

22:01 i've told my kids at least a hundred times the story of me only wanting to be a dad and i thanked them, straight out, for letting me be their dad.

:12 he say they would call him old, and sappy... he called them, his dream.

22:22 and i achieved that.

At this time there are no plans for a never did anything alone they were always together.

:20 that saturday morning they were returning from seeing their mother...amy, a vet in brownsville where they had taken their injured dog... darby.

They never made it home.

And jim got the call.
