Kennedy says Seales was behind the wheel with all six of her children when her SUV didn't make it through a sharp curve on Highway 500.
"Finally the jaws got here and got the little baby out that was screaming," he says.
"She had five step children and one of her own," says Seales' little sister, Shaniquia Gilbert. "They were coming from seeing my dad and she just lost control of the car."
She says the family is trying to cope with the sudden loss.
"I just can't believe it right now - it's very tragic," says Gilbert. "But, my sister was always a good person. She was always positive even when me and my other sister wasn't. We have another sister and we would always be fussing and something and she would always was positive and has been the soft-hearted one of the family."
