Think before grabbing a ride with others

Regina was a "one of a kind" young lady who touched many peoples' hearts in her short life. Her story is one of a wonderful human being who was able to pack in a lifetime of living into her short decade and a half on this earth. It is our hope that this memorial site will awaken the minds and hearts of teens to be more careful when they get into cars; and to be especially more careful with whom they chose to drive with when they are passengers.
