Some parents who have lost a child don’t want to talk about it. For Chrissy Stover, talking about her late 16-year-old daughter is a tribute to her.

“There’s not a lot of stories or coverage on bereaved parents because it is a sensitive topic,” Stover said. “They (the parents) don’t want to think about it, they don't want to talk about it. I love talking about Olivia,... keep(s) her alive.”
