Receiving Congressional Honors

Feb 24: I felt overwhelmed hearing the honoring words and compassion from U.S. Representative Frank Guinta as he read the certificate of recognition for my work against distracted driving....a moment I will never forget remembering the suffering my family has been through.  This honor will be part of the Congressional Record.   

 I was very happy my dad, Don Silk and my grandmother, Helen Syvinski, could join in the celebration of receiving the honor of my work against distracted driving...it really is a family platform. Thank you Congressman Frank Guinta!
