It's been more than a year since Cecilia Williams lost her son, his fiancé and her grandson to a crash police say was caused by a drunk driver, but she's reminded of them every day. "When you lose a kid, you see them in everything," she tells PEOPLE in this week's issue. Most of all, she's reminded by the faces and the questions of her two grandsons, Bentley, now 6, and Mason, now 4, who were orphaned by the crash and are now being raised by Cecilia and her husband Shawn. For months after losing his dad, mom and 4-month-old brother, Bentley would ask the same question over and over: "Do you think they're still dead?" It's a pain that's all too common. In 2020, 11,654 people were killed in DUI crashes in the U.S., leaving thousands of children without a parent. So she decided she needed to do something to make would-be drunk drivers feel the lasting anguish of the loss of a loved one. She created Bentley's Law, a proposal that would force offenders to pay child support for kids left behind when a parent is killed in a drunk-driving crash. Since she began her push in the months after the crash—making calls and sending emails to legislators around the country on breaks between homeschooling her grandkids—Tennessee passed a bill modeled on hers, and at least 10 other states have introduced similar legislation.
