Mark fierro author of road rage in las vegas 51 39 he sits down, he grabs her hand and immediately she squeezes his hand and he asks the nurse has she done this . She said no, shes been completely unresponsive. And he starts telling her how lucky he was and how much he loved here , how much hes gonna work to help keep the kids together 52 13 and so the last think that happens is this communication through her hand, she wants him to know that hes hearing, after tammys death, things crumbled for the family.
