that her mother, 19-year-old dana rosendale, had died in a car accident. dana was a stranger to her. >> do you have so much as a memory of your mother's smile, or her touch? >> none. i have no memories. no voice, no nothing. i was only eight months old when it happened, so -- >> reporter: brittany was greedy for memories of this mother she'd never known. she badgered dana's older sister, aunt deb. >> so when the curious little girl asks you, the aunt, "tell me about my mother," what do you say? >> i just -- she was a -- she was a beautiful woman, you know? she loved life. >> reporter: and adored her baby girl. >> she loved that little girl to death. she was just a great, great mother. >> reporter: dana had been so young. just eighteen when she got pregnant. >> did dana ever feel sorry for herself in any way?
