                                                    Molly Axline says "the loss of a child is the worst tragedy that can happen                                                      to a parent." 

​​

                                                    In 1987, her only child, Brenda Axline, age 18 and her best friend                                                                        Tracy Johnson, age 17, were killed by a 4 time repeat DUI offender going the                                                      wrong way on I-10 near Tucson, Arizona.  The drunk driver served a 21 year                                                        prison sentence.  He never showed the family remorse during or after the 4-                                                        day murder trial.  He blamed the alcohol industry for what happened.  He                                                            said "Alcohol killed them."

                                                    Molly was born in Springfield, Illinois.  She went to several schools as her                                                            dad was an Air Force pilot.  After flying in two wars, he flew commercial for                                                          Trans World Airlines.

The meeting was set up by the Campaign Against Drunk Driving (which has been renamed "Concerned Angels"), which was led by Investigative Reporter Sandy Golden.
