She had a personal relationship with Jesus. A real one. Even in her death that was very evident to us. I don't want to say she was saintly, but she was right up there.

The doctors told us it would be a matter of hours (before she died). But it wasn't. It was another week.

She looked at me, and even though she couldn't talk I could see in her eyes that she was trying to assure me that everything was okay. She was in God's hands, and that was where she wanted to be.

I wasn't a fan of the sport when Dale got killed. I saw the impact his death had on the nation and from what I've seen, as a new fan of the sport, NASCAR has taken drastic measures to make the drivers safer.

It's hard for us to go in and negotiate under these conditions. We can't. We just can't.

Death is nothing at all; it does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room.
