Please take a moment to visit the SADD page dedicated to the hard working
students of Smithfield High
SADD Mocktail Event

I recently reviewed the contents of this site. I have seen how the emotions
run hot and cold. I wont apologize for anything I have said nor will I remove it.
They are all things I was feeling at the moment I typed them in.
Even if I don't feel that way today....I did feel that way at that moment and
feel it's important that it is documented.

This website has been created to bring awareness to the General Public.
Unfortunately I have come to find through my experience that there are
several laws which are lacking to say the least, unjust or simply don’t exist.  
My mission as a mother, who lost one of her babies, is to work to change the
lacking ones, to find justice and put on the books the ones which have been
overlooked.

The first thing I am looking forward to changing is the Government’s policy on
obtaining a toxicology report for a driver who has killed or injured another
person through operator error, as it seems that there are many loop holes that
protect those that are negligent and nothing to protect the rights of those who
have been killed or injured by the person’s negligence.

The second is the lack of rights of a lost loved one. I never thought in my
wildest of nightmares that I would ever have to go through this, and maybe in
my naivety I never thought about it until it happened to my family that the
rights of a person after death would be so hard to attain.  The error of
judgment of one person protected by the law while the deceased’s family
members are left behind to grapple against the wall of non-communication,
and lack of  assistance by those that pride themselves on keeping  patient
confidentiality pertaining to the untimely death in which they caused.     

The third is their no tolerance policy on Roadside Memorials.  I wish to change
this and give family members and friends the option of giving tribute of their
loved one.  It not only is a memorial to the person they knew, it’s a reminder
to those passing by the roadside memorial to be safe.

Special Thanks to a few of my friends...
Affinity, for proofing and editing for me.
Jen for continuing to badger anyone
she can to help me in my fight for
Sammy's rights.
And all of Sammy's friends whose
Graphics I may have used on this site.
To everyone who knows Kellie, the woman who killed my child.
I know you mean well by writing me, signing Sammy's guest
books, leaving condolences and lighting candles for her.
But please, I prefer you not.
I don't care how wonderful you think Kellie is,
or what an amazing woman she is for pulling through this.
I don't care that she is grateful to be alive for her children.
She did this! She did it to herself, she did it to my little girl!
My little girl would have been grateful to be alive too! She
would have been grateful to one day marry and have children
of her own!
My little girl loved life, loved her friends, and loved her family.
Kellie has stripped my Daughter of all her rights.
If you expect me to forgive her, that will never happen.
How do you forgive someone for taking your childs life?
Samantha had so many wonderful things to experience ahead
of her.
She had so much life to live ahead of her.
Samantha was and always will be an amazing little girl.
All you have to do is speak with her friends, or read the many
comments left for her to know that.
She was always there when someone needed to talk. She was
always there for a friend in trouble.
There is nothing she wouldn't do for a person in need out of
the goodness of her heart.
Kellie took the life of a wonderful girl that night.
No, my Sammy was not perfect, she was sixteen and was good
at it. But she was loving.
No one is to blame here except for Kellie.
I have no desire to know about her, speak to her or have
people tell me how amazing she is.
If you have to kill a child to be amazing then you can count me
out!
Please just leave me and my family be, we have suffered
enough.
