Daddy, I wish you could be with me this year, and be there in the audience when I walk across the stage to get my diploma.. I hope I make you proud every day. I know you didn’t mean for it to turn out this way, but you are in a better place now. I miss you more every day. Love always, Tiffany

My son I will forever miss you, my Mykey, my naive sweet young man, I promise to do everything I can to help other in your name. I love you, no one you ever know the void you left in my heart Laredo, Texas

Uncle Rob, Even though you're gone, I will hold the memories you left me with dear. My fondest: when we lived in the small two bedroom house and you would make me and my sisters breakfast... Flipping pancakes high into the air. I recall when one hit the ceiling, you scrambled to scrape it off before my mom got home from work. I will remember you at these times, the happy ones. Now that I am older, I realize there was a sadness and a pain that took you prematurely from the ones that loved you most. We all love(d) you. I loved you, but I hate the choices that you made. I hope that your pain has finally subsided. I hope you have found peace and that some day I find peace with your passing.

Remembering with unending love~ Mike Warrington June 15, 2015 ~ 'the day the music died' Northampton, MA USA

Thinking about Chip, his strong 12 step program, his back injury and ultimate going out on pain meds and then OD-ing on heroin even as he completed an inpatient treatment program. There has to be a better way, not to lose friends who give so much to our lives.

The days go by and our lives are never the same. We welcomed a new little boy into our lives just seven months after you left us....he speaks about you always....we keep you in our lives through our little grandson everyday. He and his soon to be little brother will never have the pleasure of sitting on your surf board with you as they learn how to ride the waves. Tim you rode all of the good waves with dad and we rode the rough waves together!!! In our hearts we will always know that you tried your best and struggled everyday with this horrible affliction that is called addiction!!! With you holding us up we have pledged to make a difference and make addiction no more. Tim I love and miss you everyday. Love Mom

Today I will be remembering my girlfriend Alice, who I lost almost exactly 12yrs ago. She was the first person who understood me, my addictions and my weirdness. She was truly effervescent, she brought a smile to so many faces and frustrated us all at times. Lost sadly to an overdose just four days before her 18th birthday in September 2002. I will miss your wit, your intelligence and your joy in seeing others doing so well. I am glad you came to buy some shoes with me :) for Alice, I love you always and your memory is so often the driving force to maintaining my recovery on my darkest days.

I lost my sister at age 55 on July 12 to heroin. She fought hard to overcome her addiction. She is now done and in the arms of love. I will miss her forever.

To my precious girl, Pauline, who taught me how to . You are forever missed and loved.

Can't wait to be with you again!!!

In loving memory of my son Hunter Robison 7 /26 /94-11 /3/12. We miss you and love you so much. Mom, Cydney, Rhiannon, and Zeppelin ❤️ Mattoon, IL

So handsome so bright so young, 23 and now you're free, No more misery, no more pain, No sadness or worries of this life you have gained, Left behind so many you loved, Their feet on this soil left looking above, The stars the sky the moon above, But it's you they see in clouds and doves, Soar high with wings in beautiful light, For its not good bye it's just good night, To see you again with a smile so due, And arms open wide saying come to you. AMEN

In memory of our son Shane. We lost him to an accidental fentanyl overdose on May 4, 2016. Shane had a heart of gold. He had 16 months in recovery when he suffered a mental breakdown 3 weeks prior to his death. He relapsed and then fought to stay clean while waiting for treatment. Sadly approval never came and we found our sweet boy that early morning in his bed. Our hearts and life will never be the same.....Gone to soon, but will NEVER be forgotten Derry

So, I lost my foster brother, Roy, to a heroin and alcohol overdose in Aug 2000, he was 33. We don't know for sure if it was suicide or accidental. He'd previously made a suicide pact with his girlfriend, was this his part?  It doesn't get easier....I miss him so much. I so much want to turn the clock back, just to change this bit. I didn't know how to save him. I tried, but it wasn't enough. I pray he turned to the Lord. I wish I'd listened better that last night, despite the repetition, should I have taken things more seriously(?), I'd run out of steam and I'm sorry. I wish I'd tried to take him away with us that weekend, I wish I'd helped more financially when I was able, maybe that would have made the difference. I'm so sorry he had to be alone at the end, no one should have to be, the bleakness of it all is hideous. I just want him back. I love him and always will. He was a precious soul, the kindest of hearts, despite his situation. We can never fully understand another's pain and so cannot judge. We can only stand alongside and hope and pray that's enough. Love is the answer and only God's is enough, for all of us. Rest peacefully my lovely, lovely brother.

Trenton Smith, a year ago on August 23rd my son lost his best friend. I know he will NEVER forget you and neither will my family. You were like a brother to Paul and another son in our family. We know you are safe and happy in God's arms. Love and miss you!!

Our wonderful, caring, full of life son passed away of a Heroin overdose on 12/23/15. Our Jason was a Warrior when it came to trying to overcome his addiction, but with great sorrow in our hearts, he was not able to win his war. His turmoil is over, he is at peace now, but our grief is overwhelming. We love and miss our son more than words can say. Jason Freburger... 9/13/86 - 12/23/15

My friend  it's been thirteen days since you were so sadly taken way too young. I want to say R.I.P. Aaron Collins, you won't be forgotten. You were a good friend of mine along with so many others. I'll miss you making me laugh. Miranda Lynch

To: Jake In loving memory of my precious and only child, Jake. The light and love of my life. You brought so much joy and happiness to my world. Twenty four years wasn't enough time with you. Your absence has left a void that will never be filled. I miss you with every breath I take. You fought so hard, for so long. But you left me with the legacy of your strength and courage. It's what helps me to go on now.... I love you, my precious Son.

Joey, the day the addiction devil took you from us was one of the worst, but I know you are smiling down on all of us. I am graduating with a BSW and specialization in substance abuse in 5 months. Everything I do is for you, and I promise you, I will make a change. Love You.

My one and only sibling, Carlos Ramos, passed away to a heroin and Percocet overdose. My mom found my brother unconscious. Although 911 was called he was pronounced dead. That day my life changed. He was a loving brother, son and uncle. R.I.P baby brother, you're gone but never forgotten.

To Mum Missing you - lots of love and God Bless - please watch over your grandson Joshua.

We lost my baby sister Jenna  on February 29 2016. She had a short but hard 8 month battle with heroin and in that time overdosed twice (the second time taking her life) and was in treatment for 100 days. She took what she thought was heroin but turned out to be only fentanyl and posted a post about living life on facebook and went to sleep and never woke up.  Overdose deaths are so hard to deal with because you want to help that person so badly but you cant. She was such a talented sweet compassionate person.  She just couldnt deal with life and the obstacles that it threw at her. Mental health is a big part of addiction.  There needs to be more help in that area to help the addiction part.  So many people loved her and she was a positive part of so many peoples lives and she has a 2 year old son. But she lived in a dark hole she could not climb out of..  We miss her every day and it still doesnt seem real.  Feels like a nightmare. I know she is at peace now and free from her illness. I will miss her until we meet again. ???

To My Beloved Brother Glenn. 2/85 - 11/12. Passed away from a methadone overdose. My heart is never going to forget the life I had before you went to heaven. The light you left behind will always shine through me. The babies miss you. Your nephew speaks of you often and says he talks to you in heaven. The pain is really hard some days and I feel alone often. The words, I miss you, are not enough. I long to hear your voice. To have my friend back. My bubba. Loving you from afar, until we meet again in the Lord's house.

In loving memory of Dillon "Luke" Millwood 1/21/1994 - 8/15/2011 So very loved, so very missed... Jonesville, SC. USA

My beloved Reno...It's been almost one month since you left us. I knew of your struggles and prayed always for you. I tried and begged but you were your own person. Your pain was something I could never know, never know what was really in your heart or on your mind but I do know that you were hurting. You missed your 2 year old daughter and your struggles became worse. Grandma and Grandpa tried to no end to help you too but you wouldn't allow them to get close either. They miss you daily. They watched you as you had your good days and bad days. Your brother Gage and your baby brother Logan both miss you dearly. You were such a bright young man. Smarter than anyone I know. Your laugh, sense of humor, awkwardness, randomness, sarcasm and the way you would say you love me will be missed forever. Your beautiful smile shined like no other but your eyes could not lie. I know that you were a free spirit, you decided to ramble on and you were a simple man. Now my son, your wings are spread and you are flying above. I will always miss you and love you. My first born. My first love. My sunshine. My Reno. Soar on my son. Reno Durant 7-17-93 to 10-20-1013 GONE TO SOON

To my Rich, you are missed more than you could ever imagine. I know your suffering has ended, and that is a relief to me. But missing you is a heartache that never ends. I never wanted to get used to life without you here. My worst nightmare. I am trying my best though, to honor you every day. As always, I love you Homes.

I lost my youngest son Jake to an overdose of meth on August 23, 2015. I will never be the same. Neither will his siblings. Tonight, my daughter texted me and said they have lost yet another friend to an overdose. When is this going to end? We are losing a whole generation of our young people!!!!

My Dearest Michael Anthony, I can not believe it’s been almost 7 months… since I’ve seen your beautiful Hazel eyes. since I’ve heard your voice joking around. since I’ve had you text me from the other room..making me laugh. since you were working with me, driving all over Long Island. since you played words with friends. since you took jynx and stax for your morning walk/run. LOL since you “talked” to Jynx and stax the way you do..and I never learned how..LOL you know they miss you like hell. since we had long talks and I am trying to take after your calm way of thinking. LOL 7 months of heartache. 7 months of pain. 7 months of crying at least 1 time a day. 7 months of barely holding on. 7 months of missing you like crazy. I’m so sorry that you still had felt pain to turn to your addiction…and wish you would have turned to us instead. Rest Peacefully my beautiful boy…you are free now..free from your addictions…free from your pains..free from your restrictions. Love you forever…and ever I know you are an angel watching over us and we will see you again.

The person that was with him didn't call 911 first and when they were called she didn't tell them what he had took, I will never know if they could of saved him , Please CALL 911 BE HONEST TELL THEM EVERYTHING YOU COULD SAVE A LIFE

My son was a beautiful soul. He was born July 12 , 1993 and February 23 , 2016 fatally overdosed on heroine laced with fentanyl. He was loved by many, christian lite up the room when he walked in. His smile was contagious, he was the friend everyone wanted. His addiction he hid well no one knew til it was to late. The first overdose was in January 2016 he promised he'd never do it again. I wanted to believe him I did believe him l, he was a good kid he had a baby in the way. I knew when I got the call that morning. Thurmont Maryland USA

Dear Danny, I miss you so much! Coming up on month # 10 that you have been gone from this earth! You are so heartfully missed by your family and friends! Born 12-20-1975 ~ Died of a combination alcohol and drug overdose on 11-02-2011. So suddenly you left that morning not even knowing you we’re gone untill it was too late to come back. No one wanted to call for help because they thought that they would get in trouble! I am so sad that no one loved you enough that morning to get you the help that you needed. I love you sweet son of mine and you will never be forgotten, by me or your girls! Love

To my beloved son, who was bipolar, and over-medicated to help him "cope".....His name was Brad and he died October 30, 2012. I was to go over that night and we were going to dye each other's hair for Halloween. He had phoned me that morning and told me how great and good he felt, and he wanted to get together that evening. I got a migrane and didn't go over to his home. I never got to talk with him again and tell him how much I loved him. Brad, your dad and brother and I loved you so much. We know you struggled but we sure loved you. We miss you and will see you soon. You are with us forever. Much love. Mom.

Remembering my lovely boy who died 21st October 2001 never forgotten, heroin overdose such a waste of a young life With so much to live for. RIP. Kevin Love Mum

In Memory Of Our Son, Gary A. Brothers 12-3-80 to 2-10-15

It's been exactly one month since I lost my fiancée to a heroin overdose. I received the call from his father that he had passed in a restaurant bathroom and was found hours after his death. I'm still in shock and don't know how I've made it a month already. He left 2 of his own children and two of mine. It was a struggle he battled for more than 20 years. I am not a user and often wondered why it was so hard to just quit. Today, after watching his struggle for the 8 years I spent with him, I know it was not a choice to be an addict, it was a disease he could not conquer or overcome. Not because he was weak but because the addiction had a hold on him that none of us did, he couldn't do it for his children, me, his parents or himself. I do NOT want his death in vain, he was a great man with a kind heart. I will not let the addiction define him, he was so much more than that. I know he is free of the pain he endured every single day and is at peace. I am willing to take the pain and grief from his death so that he will not ever suffer again. I do this because of the great deal and love I have for him. Everyday is a struggle to breathe for me without him in my life, but knowing he is resting peacefully gives some solace to his death. I will continue to miss him terribly too I see him again someday. There needs to be more attention paid to this epidemic that is ruining the lives of some many people. He was only 37 years old with a whole life ahead.....I miss and love you my love!!!

To all our fallen comrades; To those that are heart brokenly left behind; To those that have irreversible damage from a non-fatal overdose; My heart (though broken as well) is with you especially on this important day of acknowledgement. My thoughts are with all our community and our friends and family. I hope we all find the solace we seek and deserve.

R.I.P. Kevin Michael Warner. You were an intelligent genuinely good person. I am so sorry your life was so painful. I hope you are at peace with your son and know how very loved you are. Northport, New York

To my dearest son Benjamin Joseph Dominguez.   My heart breaks for you. There was so much hope and promise for your future without drugs. You wanted so much to be free of that 'monkey' on your back. You wanted to go to college, have a wife and kids someday, and for me to realize what it is to be a grandmother. You wanted your brother to forgive you for your transgressions You missed so many milestones, my son. I love and miss you so much Ben!!

In memory of our son, Dominic, forever 23, lost his life to the disease of addiction on April 2, 2008.  You will forever be in our hearts and minds.  Till we are together again once more, sending love with hugs and kisses, Mom, Dad & Lex.

My precious son Justin, Life will never be the same without you. My heart is broken. I love you so. Watch over us and help your brother Charlie. Your smile could light up this earth. I miss you so........ Till we meet again.... I love you MOM

My brother died today. It's the worst day of my life. I hurt so badly but keep telling myself that he no longer hurts. I miss you already Rob.

In honor of my son James, whose birthday it was yesterday, August 31. I love you always. Mom  

Always remembering you, Tim!! ❤️
