Thank you for putting your daughters story here for everyone to see. I am sure it hard to see and hear the stories, but it also brings awareness to the situation. Distraction in a vehicle kills people daily and can come from many sources. I lost my best friend Sharla in 1991 (before cell phones were so popular) to a car accident where the other driver also a teen was arguing with her boyfriend while she was racing home to meet her curfew. She ran a red light and our car rolled several times. My friend was killed instantly and the other driver died a week later. This incident has forever change Sharla’s friends and family’s lives forever. You can never take back what you have caused by a moments bad decision. Sometimes you have to live with your decision if you are lucky enough to live, but your family will always have to live with your bad decision.

This story was sent to everyone in my company here in Texas…do know your message is getting out! I still pray for your strength…time does not always lessen the pain. Do you know if there is a statistic of adult fatalities for texting while driving??
