I am the mother of Monique Glover, I thought the article was an excellent one. These stories need to be told, a crash involving loved ones changes your life for life it's never the same. I am so very very proud of Monique, I know it is not easy for her to re-live that day. She is a strong individual with the will to help others, to help prevent others from having to experience what was the most horrific day of her life, loosing a child. This article put reality to deatils of crashes that people often hear about, it's always someone else it doesn't register until it's personal, well it happen to us. Adrienne Duncan
