It's been several years now, and I do believe that the family is healing well. They have a wonderful network of friends to support them. But still Reina is greatly missed.

Here, one argument against outlawing cell phone use while driving has been that one might need to make a call in an emergency. I'm sure the law would forgive someone for calling 911 while being chased down the road by a maniac. In other cases, I'm not sure why a person can't just pull over to make that call, but then I am often accused of making too much sense.

On occasion, I have had someone call me, and I hear the road noise on their end. I'll ask them if they're driving. If they answer "yes", I ask them to call back when they find a place to pull over. Not only is it unsafe, but I find it difficult to hear what they are saying.
