My daughter holly Webster was killed by Sean Christensen who nodded out on fentynol and crash his vehicle into a tree no brake marks on the road at all he DIDNT even try to stop. Anyway I will fight for justice for my best friend and daughter. That loser is driving and has a suspended license and was high when he killed my only child please hwy patrol do your job and put that wart on society’s a** in jail where he belongs he is used to it he just got out of prison.
So very sorry for your loss. No words from a complete stranger can offer you comfort at a time like this. I also lost a man I considered a son in this accident, Raymond Patillo. If I told him once I told him a thousand times, buckle up. I will restrain from mentioning the driver as I don’t know him nor did I know your child. I do know that both our loved and cherished ones will be missed. I will keep you in my prayers and pray that God bring you comfort and peace.

Tina I was a friend of Holly”s I am truly so sorry for your loss, Imet Holly at Wallom several years ago when i got sober back in 2017, we stayed in touch with over the years… she was full of life and so vibrant i will miss her so much i just found out that she passed and it broke my heart she was an amazing person.
Sray was my husband icant believe he killed so many refusing to stop driving then leaving them alone our child has no dad
Sean didn’t do this on purpose. He wishes he was dead more than you can ever and would do anything to trade places with them. But he wasn’t high I swear to God and I know because I was there when he came home after sobriety test and got high in my car. I’m very sorry for your loss but I’ve watched him hurt and I know he didn’t do it on purpose he tried to stop someone. No body would stop, people have stalked and attacked him and he told me out of his mouth ” he wishes he was the one not them, he asked me why God would spare his life and I don’t know the answer but I know a life is a life and because he was sober it could have happened to anyone of us. Just last April he did cpr on me for 25 mins while the ambulance used gps to find the location in Stockton. I have two kids that would no longer have me if it wasn’t for him so I know for a fact that he tried and he hates his self for not being able to but we all gotta ask God to give us understanding for HIS will not ours or Seans
