That would be a fantastic PSA. I could visiualize it while reading it. Wish Lance would read this, and with all his "contacts" get this done here in Texas.
Even throw in a before home movie shot of the Bruehler's daughter at the start and an after shot at the funeral or something to show the loss. I think adding the real life to the attempts to connect or personalize what can happen would be effective if it could be packaged well, simply, and briefly.
