Victoria was the daughter of Paul and Lisa Gaines, and sister to Ryan Gaines. She was extremely close with her brother, Ryan, who absolutely adored her. She was an outgoing little girl who would wake up singing and dancing until she went to bed. She loved other children her age, and would always make friends wherever she went. The smile on her face could light up a dark room. But it was her eyes that captured your senses. Paul and Lisa would agree that if you were having a bad day and you made eye contact with Victoria , that all your worries would go away, She will be missed tremendously.

On July 4, 2012, the beloved Victoria Gaines was taken too soon in a tragic boating accident.  Help us prevent future boating accidents by signing a petition to pass Victoria’s Law, A law which makes recreational boating on our waterways a safer place to be.  

• Why do we have laws governing our roadways, and not our waterways?  
• Why do we need a license to drive on the road, but not on water? Let’s try to implement safety training for operation of a water vessel.

These are Questions we need answers to.  By signing this petition, we will make the U.S Senate aware of our concerns for safer boating regulations.
