In a 2009 photo provided by Bonnie Raffaele, Kelsey Dawn Raffaele is shown in a self portrait in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. On a winter morning in 2010, Kelsey was driving home from a friend's house and chatting on her cell phone when she crashed, ending her life at age 17, and setting her devastated mother on a mission to spare others the same fate. Bonnie Raffaele won a bittersweet victory when the Michigan Legislature passed a bill prohibiting young novice drivers from using a cell phone while behind the wheel. Gov.
