Dear Christine & Kevin,
Since I have learned about Kyle, I cannot stop thinking about him. I too want to do what I can to help keep other children safe. I am a stay at home mom of 4. My 4 year old is now in a pre-k class a couple days per week and the other day I saw something that made me feel like I was going to be sick. I had just dropped my son off, along with a bunch of other moms, and I was putting my other kids back into the van when I heard a mom and her kids beside me getting into their van. I turned to look and saw the mom open up her van door and there I saw two booster seats, much like the ones that you show in a picture of Kyle and Katie, the ones used with seatbelts instead of a 5 point harness. It felt like my heart went up in my throat and I felt nauseas. I wanted so much to say something, but I did not want to offend the mom and it all happened so quickly, what was I supposed to do?
I want to help inform more parents about the dangers of these booster seats but I am not sure how to go about doing it. If I see that mom again, which I am sure that I will, I am going to feel a great need to say something.....but what? and how do I say it?
Every single time I see kids in vehicles now, I sit and wonder what type of car seats or booster seats are being used, it's like an obsession, a good one I think though!
My extended family, relatives, friends listen to me talk about Kyle's story and car seats in general all the time. I try to help whomever I can by showing them the correct way to install their car seats. I would like to do more, as much as I can do while raising our kids, can you think of any way I can help this plight? Please let me know. I keep praying that the Lord would show me a way to help on behalf of all the precious kids in this world and in Kyle's memory; I just haven't heard back from Him yet! :) God bless you and get back to me when you can. The very least I can do is keep praying for you and for Kyle's foundation, pray that you will be able to keep saving kids lives. Hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely, Denice Caso
PS-.......just for the record, I will never ever ever forget Kyle, his face, his story, and the tremendous love you and your family have shown for him. Only wish I could have met the little guy.......
[As a tribute and in memory of Kyle, Denice has decided to train to become a Child Passenger Safety Technicican.]
