Janica’s Story
A knock at Janica's door late one night in November 2016, changed her life forever. Her husband, Eric was a Utah State Trooper and was on duty when he was struck by a vehicle. She was a mom to 3 little boys, and suddenly faced life alone to raise them, as a young widow. She told us her story in today's podcast, and what life looked like as she navigated this sudden loss. The support she had from her community and from her law enforcement family, and what life looks like now for her. Thank you Janica for sharing your story with us!

Jackie’s Story
Jackie is our guest on this week's episode. She tells us the story of her son who was going to his first Homecoming dance. He had just taken his date home from their day activity, and was driving back to his house to get ready for the evening. On his way home he lost control of his car and it went into oncoming traffic, struck another vehicle in which the driver of that vehicle tragically passed away. A big part of Jackie's story is that her son was only 15 at the time, and only had a drivers permit. Jackie and her husband have felt the weight of their decision that day to let their son drive. They tell his story to raise awareness for underage driving. They also learned that their car had a recall, which played a huge role in why their son had lost control of the vehicle.
It was such an honor and very humbling to have Jackie come sit with us and share a little bit about what they've gone through since that horrific day. We hope this story finds the people who need to hear it, and we hope that you enjoy listening and learning from Jackie.
