“I killed his daughter, and he was able to give me a hug and say,
‘I love you.’” —Joe
"Not too far from where I live there's a sign," Joe Avila says as he begins his story. "And it says, 'Please do not drink and drive.' And then there's a smaller sign underneath that reads, ‘In honor of Amy Wall.'"
Joe pauses briefly before speaking in a firm voice:
"Amy Wall was a young lady that I killed in 1992 while driving drunk on the freeway."
It's a shocking statement, but Joe is calm. He explains how that tragic night brought an end to his life of alcoholism and addiction, yet it took the life of a teenage girl.
