- After Paul passed away, you know, we did have his ashes, he was cremated and that, but we decided to put this in our backyard.

One reason because my husband having ALS and not getting to the cemetery.

And we really believe like, Paul was such a very spiritual soul person.

He's really not there.

He's with us and in our hearts.

This is like really where we honor him besides the legislation and everything else that we do.

I wanna make it very clear to people not to be on the phone, so I put "In Loving Memory" with his picture, "No Phone Call or Text is Worth a Life."

And right now, more than ever I see more people on their phone.

Everybody thinks it's never gonna be them, but it literally happened to my son and so many other families in Pennsylvania.

And now, this legislation, Paul Miller's Law, which is Senate B.

37, it will be a beacon of protection for every passenger and driver in Pennsylvania.

For a mother who could not even recognize her son at the morgue, there's nothing that important; turn it off.

This is kind of Paul's memory room.

Paul had like all his trophies.

He was a great athlete, mostly all baseball.

And what guided me right away at the crash was the handle of Paul's car.

And all I could hear was Paul saying, "Mom, you can get a handle on this; you can get a handle on this."

And, you know, there was blood on it and there was all dirt in it; and this was just laying there and I keep it here.

And on days when I struggle, like when my legislation kept being pushed back, I would say, "I got this" and I felt like I was holding Paul.

I always say I'm a mom with a mission, not a politician.

(laughs) People are now calling me from other states saying, "How did you get it done?"

"Will you work with me now?"

And I was like, "You have to be in for a big long fight."

It's not an easy fight, it's not.

But we did it, and I'm so happy my husband was here to see it, very happy that my husband is here to see it.

There's always tears.

Sometimes they're happy tears, sometimes they're sad tears, but we think about the good happy memories with Paul.

He was known for his big great smile.

And I'm sure he's smiling down and saying, "You did it, Mom."
