 I'm so sorry...
by: Meagan's Mom

I'm so sorry for your loss..
I lost my daughter 3 weeks after she turned 18. She was killed by a lady "HIGH" on drugs, prescription drugs (Methadone, xanax, and 3 other types of drugs)... Because they couldnt do a "Breathalizer" test on her we had to wait until the state got her blood work back from the crime lab. It took 11 months for them to get the bloodwork back and during that time she was out free as a bird to do whatever she wanted to while we grieved for Meagan. During that 11 months she got another DWI charge and drug charge.. She is now serving time in the pen...10 years for my daughters life...NOT FAIR...but at least we have something....
I will pray for you....for your family...and for your angel above...
I'm sorry for your loss....from one that knows...the pain...and hurt...sadness...
May God watch over you....may he help you to win this battle against the state...so they will change their laws....

 Understanding the pain
by: Sara

Florida isn't any better than SC. My son was killed by a drunk driver and there is no justice. There are a bunch of slimey lawyers and judges in our area. I have been trying to fight for justice for 9 years and am getting nowhere. The older the case gets, the harder it becomes...even if the drunk violates parole-which he has. I just can't believe it. I'm so sorry you have had to go through this too.

 Blessings On You
by: Penney

I looked at your sites and cried, I want to applaud you for your tenacity and the focus you are bringing to this issue. 21 Forever is our story and like you I'm angry....very angry and have been staying with every step of the criminal process. I can only hope that Texas utilizes the harsh penalties they have in place rather than probation and a paddy smack, telling him to be good.

Until this, I never imagined how a heart could hurt this bad and survive. I applaud your efforts and wish blessings on you!

 Angel in waiting
by: Anonymous

I came across Kelli's myspace page while snooping through my sons friends profiles, not exactly sure which profile linked me to yours though. It broke my heart but I continued to read every word. So so sad....SC has failed in bringing justice to your family. I hope your story continues to bring awareness to others and hopefully some day, we'll have a "Kelli's Law", where the punishment will fit the crime and the dirty 3 won't be living their lives to the fullest.
God bless you Pam, you're truly an amazing woman. I'll continue to visit Kelli's page and pass the link to everyone I know.Good luck with your fight to do what is right!

 So Sorry
by: Anonymous

Pam, As you already know my heart goes out to you and your family. My heart also goes out to all the victims of drinking and driving crashes in South Carolina. South Carolina seems to value the lives of the criminals more than victims! You fight for change is awe inspiring but what else can we expect from a mother who was robbed of her child. Kellie is always in the hearts of those who live on.

 My Deepest Sympathies
by: Debra DeFrain

My deepest sympathies to you and your family in the loss of Kelli. I lost my son on January 4, 2009 however, he was the drunk driver. His story is posted here as "My son was the drunk driver on New Year's eve." I can not believe that you are being victimized a second time by the very system that by it's very nature is suppose to protect the public. My son was at a New Year's eve party, his BAC was 2.0 yes, you read that correctly. The parent's of his friend (hosting the party) felt like he was becoming loud, boisterous and argumentative and asked him to leave. (he was originally suppose to be spending the night there.) He was in a fatal collision 10 minutes after leaving their home. The grief of losing a child is a journey that never ends. The anger that I feel towards the people hosting the party is all consuming. I believe there comes a point of no return for someone that is intoxicated. They are no longer thinking clearly or able to make any type of sound judgement, and it is our responsibility to step in and prevent them from getting behind the wheel of a car and killing innocent victims or themselves. Again, I am so sorry for your loss, and know that I understand the incredible pain and anger that you feel.

 My Heart Breaks for you
by: Peace2

I am so sorry to read about your daughter being taken from you in this horrible way. I lost my son when he was a baby, 20 years ago, not to a drunk driver. Loosing a child is the worst experience a mother can ever have. The pain never goes away, you just learn how to cope better in time. I know there is nothing that can hurt me like I have been hurt from the death of my child so I am stronger for that. I am also a substance abuse counselor and I work with DUI clients. I often print pictures of victims of drunk drivers and introduce them to my class. I research everything that the loved ones have said about that person and tell my class. They all smile and feel all fuzzy until I tell them that someone just like themselves murdered that precious child. I educate them about alcohol and drug effects and have each of them sign a waiver stating that they understand that if they kill someone while intoxicated that they will be charged with murder and will serve 55 years to life in prison. I send you a big hug from a mother who feels your pain. God Bless!

This is Lorri Standley, I read your page on alcoholalert, I left you some info on my brothers sign design my brothers magnetic signs that read: My son, brother, sister, friend, uncle, etc you get the Idea yes they are made for the person and whom was killed, back to the signs, mine reads
MY BROTHER WAS KILLED BY A DRUNK DRIVER!!!!! it is black and red with tears of red and I have one on both my car doors, my side and passenger. It is a way to let the people of your state not forget what happened or HOW it happened to your daughter.. MY brothers Name is Dan WEST his # is 1541 496-3820 his cell is 541 784-8135 or you can reach us threw my # as well 541 637-6611cell hm is 541 496-0473 I really hope to hear from you. My mom is also a MADD advocate now in our county. She goes to all the DUII conferences she may be of some help to you to get the D.a.'s ass in gear. Her name is Beth West. She will be out a town untill late next week but my brother Danny is home.. You can look threw my pic's as well I know I have pic's of my car signs on a little write up from the paper on my brother Dan who made the signs. We have them out now in about 12 states... It's really cool. I hope you look into it. Still being bitter is also very normal. I'm not sure when it happened but my brother David was killed on Jan 14th 2006 and I am still bitter, lonely, depressed, ANGRY, Mad, sad, still want answers that I know I'll never get. Our guy the driver did go to prison but it was rough to put him there, My mom & I did allot of door knocking and D.a. pounding. I think they prosecuted the case to get rid of us, no joke... Just take one day at a time. Good luck and I hope you get somewhere with your localcops:{

 So sorry for your pain.
by: Anonymous

I would like to 1st tell you how sorry I am for ur pain. I had my brother stolen from me on my 35th B'Day by a drunk driver. Also Our state Oregon does not carry breathalizer either. Crazy huh. I beleive we went thru the same B.S. w/ our local yocals not doing there job and found that my mom & I did allot of it for them. Please look into my brothers email page called dans reallitycheck@ glide cable .com he has made custome ordered signs Mine reads My brother was Killed by a drunk driver, Our moms reads MY "son" they are magnetic and go on the driver and passenger doors of ur cars.. You would be surprised how often we get asked about the signs and my brother designed them out of pain and the lack of knowledge or information.... Pls feel free to write me back. My name is Lorri Standley
