At the crash site, two cars had collided head-on,

“It was the necklace I gave Lisa for our anniversary,” he said.

“I remember freezing for a second… I kept telling myself,

*It can’t be her.* But then I saw her hand, and I knew.”

The call that began like any other ended in tragedy—one

that would forever change Reynolds’ life.
