(sot ) "she was probably one of the best moms i've ever seen, she literally dedicated her life to those kids."

"anytime children are involved, chidren lose their lives its terrible, we all have kids.

We don't want to see anything like this."...and sadly that's exactly what police saw late last night in st.

Joseph.

A young mother and her three children all killed after the car they were in left the road and fell in a ditch.

Good evening everyone, i'm ron johnson.

Police said the car involved collided with another vehicle near the 2900 block of pear st.

Around 11 last night which sent it into that ditch filled with water.

While she said her relationship with her sister was up and down at times, the love she had for her children davis says was without question she was very full of life for the most part and very there for her kids.

Love that davis is now adding to the love of her own kids as the family tries to move forward after such deep loss.i've definitely loved my babies a little bit tighter this morning and gave them more kisses than i ever have, you never know when your last minute will be.
