Laura, Thank you for bringing this up. Congratulations Kimberly you've worked very hard for this and with your hard work hopefully another family will never have to know your kind of pain.

Although I am so elated for the LeMaster family that Renden's law passed, I want it to be known that Renden's mother, Kimberly LeMasters is the one who should be acknowledged for the hard work that it took to get this passed not the step-mother Deanna LeMasters. Kimberly was on the phone countless times talking to the Ann Arbor City Council, the police, the firemen and who ever it took to help her with this law. Kimberly attended many council meetings and spoke on behalf of this law, pleading with the council to pass this law in order to hopefully prevent what tragically happened to Renden from ever happening to anyone else. Kimberly has been a class act through this entire ordeal. She has never once been on tv, in the papers or tried to be in the lime-light for any of this. Kimberly is Renden's mother, and none of us will hopefully ever know what it is like to lose a child, but I will tell you this, I hope I would be as classful and faithful as Kimberly LeMasters if this ever happened to me. Sincerly, Laura Simon
