Anthony C Ezzell 11/28/79 - 08/25/13 Loving son, brother, cousin, uncle and father A very funny guy....We love and miss you ..... Rest in Peace❤ Mechanicsville, MD

To: Benjamin Kennedy Cartwright Benny Boy you were the light of my life, and the heart and soul of all our family. Your father loved you and your siblings adored you. You were also the naughtiest little devil going around. In your short 23 years you crammed more into those years, than most people do in a lifetime. When you were at your "worst" you would play the piano for me to calm me down it worked every time. Your legacy to all of us was you made the sun shine brighter for all of us and the Frank Sinatra song "I Did it My Way" was your anthem and we played it at your funeral as well as "Benny and The Jets". The world lost a talented young man the day you died. Rest easy my darling boy my "Blonde Bombshell" Forever Young Your loving mother, father and siblings

An amazing person has passed away yesterday morning, Dan Grym. Taken away at the young age of eighteen and nobody is able to nor wants to believe it. You put a smile on everybody's faces whenever you were around and could always be counted on to have a good time with. I wish there was something I could do to change what has happened. We all miss you so much and you will be in every single heart of your friends until we meet again. I hope you are with your brother saving all of us spots when we meet again. Fly high bro, you may have only been 18 but you will live on forever.<3

In memory of Elizabeth (Liz) Loranzo, age 25, who lost her short and loving life to a heroin overdose on March 19, 2017. Liz leaves behind her fiance Kyle and her then 9 month old son Carson. Middletown, PA

MY husband Brian had 4+ years clean from heroin. The run that culminated with a 5 year prison sentence in Mass DOC was like literally living a hell on earth. I wanted my husband back but more so, I wanted our 2 year old son to have his father in his life, to not become another statistic. My husband had such an amazing and beautiful heart but also a very tortured soul..no human could go there, but heroin could. He used one more time in Boston on October 30 2016 and I had to tell that little boy I fought so hard for that his father was gone. I had to take my child to his own father's funeral and I stood at that funeral and spoke of the man I once knew ..how my biggest fear was forgetting things about him, how I wish he had found what he was looking for here with us..how I wished that he had seen in himself what all of us standing in that cemetery had seen in him..this is such a needless way to die and I'd bring them all back if I could , so that no one had to feel the daily anguish of heroin taking their everything away. Heather S Westerly RI

Nicky O, Reece S, Paul M , always remembered x

To my beautiful cousin Jessie, miss you and today I light a candle and say a prayer that you continue your journey and prayers for also your family. You were loved and our continued love is sent to you and your family. What a kind man.

You are he greatest son a mother could ever ask for. Twnety-five (25) years was not enough time. When you left a very big part of my heart went with you my beautiful son, but you are free now. No more does the sorrows of life hurt you. I will love and miss you till I take my last breath. Christopher Charles Dinwiddie you are my heart and I am honored to be your mom. I love you.

Remembering my good friend Nick, 23, who overdosed on heroin August 7th, 2015. He was a good person in many peoples lives. He motivated others when they were feeling down. Had a laugh that could be depicted at any location. A constant smile that could lighten your mood. He was a normal guy that the demon drug took power over him completely. I tried to help him with powerful words of encouragement, full support, and even went to meetings. But the help I gave just wasn't enough. The drug was stronger than him. I still wait for texts from him or snap chats asking how I'm doing. The last thing he ever asked me was if I could take him to McDonalds. I replied with saying let's go tomorrow I'm in bed. Next reply from him was okay that sounds fine with me! See you tomorrow! Goodnight :) The next day he was gone. The day on which his funeral was held, I was suppose to go to a meeting with him instead. But that never happened. Instead I had to attend his funeral. Heroin took him over. It consumed him whole and many would have never thought him. Its a drug that with a one time use will suck you in forever. It's hard to deal with. And the pain in my heart will never fully go away. I'll miss him forever.

Tommy McGee, our beautiful son. He was best friend, loyal, kind hearted and loved dearly. We miss you so much, our hearts bleed every day without you.

Miss you so much words cannot say. My life will never be the same without you. I only pray I see you in Heaven my Beautiful Boy. Your Mom sisssy and brother miss you. Mommy

Missing your smile and your tender ways. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. You have gone to a place where there is no worries and no problems. You are gone but the love is there in our hearts
Gone but never forgotten.

To: Lee Anne Brown To a great friend and mate You should of never been taken from us but the lord wanted you way too soon Thinking of you each day Love always Your mate Roseanne

Sarah!  You were my oldest child, I loved you more than life itself!  I tried so hard to help you ... I prayed for your healing.  You were doing so well, living in transitional housing, doing what you could to get your baby back from foster care.  The demon of heroin had you too much in its grip.  They found you on your bathroom floor.  When the coroner called me, I was in shock, couldn't believe it, I was planning on coming to pick you up the next day to spend with me.  I will never forget you, and will never get over losing you.  So talented, so loving, so bright!  Make heaven a brighter place with your love!  I will miss you for the rest of my life.  Mama

My baby brother Matt Bertulli died of a heroin overdose at barely the age of 27. He was intelligent, out-going, caring, loving and handsome; he dedicated his life to helping others by working as an anesthetic technician at Milford Hospital.  He loved football, music, cars and hanging with his friends. He was enrolled in nursing school at the time of his death. I miss him everyday and have started a foundation in his memory called Missin' Matt which will be holding its first annually walk in Milford on September 12th. All money raised will be for opening a treatment center to serve our community. To my brother: Matt I love you, I miss you and I'm so proud to call you my brother, Fly high baby brother. Until we meet again. Love your Big Sister, Megs

I just lost my 33 year old daughter to a heroin overdose. Her name is Samantha Leogrande. She had a 8 year old boy. She was a single parent trying to be both mom and dad. She lived with me for 7 out of the 8 years she had Kden.  She was suffering both physically and mentally. She was in so much pain everyday. From fibromyalgia, massive migraines and 3 back surgeries that left her in constant pain.She was given opiates to take away her pain for awhile. Besides that she was diagnosed with being bi-polar and  schizophrenic. She was also very depressed from the pain. I found her on my bathroom floor dead. I tried to get her to breath for me while doing CPR till the medics arrived. That was the day my life came to an end as I knew it. Samantha died on August 10th, 2016.  It's only been 6 weeks and I want to remember her and always keep her alive in Her son's heart and to never let him forget the love she had for him. She lived and breathed for him. Samantha was a smart girl. She went to med school to be a surgical tech but couldn't find work in our area.She graduated with top honors.

Ohh how much I miss you my sweet boy.....  I hope I can be your mom again.  David kuhl...... 3-6-82   -  2-23-14. ..   always on my mind and forever in my heart! Xo's

Scottie, My brother. You were such a beautiful man with a bright smile and squinty eyes. Your big bear hugs brought me so much security and warmth during the times we held each other. I wish I could have a million more of those hugs and be able to hear your laugh or see your smile instead of listening to videos and looking through pictures. Your death haunts me daily. The grief and thoughts of what could have been done and said. What more could we have done. I have never seen someone fight addiction as hard as you did and you did it all for your family. I wish you would've stayed away from this town; part of me thinks you would still be here if you did. It has been less than a year since you left us but it feels like a lifetime. I ache. Tonight I fell to the ground, wondering if you felt all the pain when you left this world. Were you scared? Were you at peace? Did you think about all of us who loved you? I am so proud of what you overcame when you were here and what mark you left in this world. Your daughter misses you. She is getting so big and looks more and more like you every day. I love you, Scott. I miss you like hell. Posted 24/09/2018

In memory of my husband, Randall K. Whaley, who died March 2, 2015.

Tim, we love you and miss you.  You are remembered with love every minute of every day.  Love, Rosemarie and Dad

Timmy. I still think of you every single day. I'm finally learning to live without you but your death has completely changed me. I think of you several times every hour of the day. I miss you. Relationships are forever over. Your death was soooo destructive to so many. I wish you knew how loved and needed you were by everyone. You knew how I felt. I'm still sooo thankful for all those talks. It gives me some peace knowing that you knew what you meant to me. Your memory will never die. I love you. Fly free.

My son died. He died from an overdose, the coroner described it as drug toxicity, mostly heroin. There was a wide range of other substances also in his system. I watched him battle this insidious addiction over many years. He was loved deeply by his family and his many friends. The day he died was cold and wild weather, he had been to work all day, he came home changed and headed out again to meet friends. On his return he went to his bedroom and that is where we found him. Our loss is immense and we miss him dreadfully, we wish he could be here to share ordinary day to day activities. In fact I wouldn't even mind if we had one of those heated moments that then ended in a hug and Ï love you mum". The silence around his death is difficult, the stigma and at times the judgment but as he would say they don't know me. I miss that smile, the dancing in the hallway when he thought no one was looking, the hugs, the jokes but most of all I miss him. She is a cruel mistress heroin. Love you Kris

Two much loved sisters died from drug and alcohol addictions. Lost my first sister in 1999. There used to be five of us; four sisters, one brother. Well now only two are left. I lost my other sister in September 2011. I was the oldest. My heart is so pained with their deaths, one aged 41, the other 52. Also the four children between them were left for us to look after. On bad days you see them in the children. It keeps you surviving. The drugs and alcohol steal them from us and we watch this happen and can't do anything to help no matter what we try. So we live on with good memories of our loved ones and hope that other families with this loss will live on. And maybe we will have peace, knowing that knock at the door or dreaded phone call will not come again. My thoughts are with all the familiess that have to cope with their losses. To xxx my love to my lovely sisters

Erik, who just turned 40 was the love of my life. He cooked for me, cleaned, decorated my walls with art and his art, made music for me on the computer and mp3 player. He had an addiction to heroin and had to go to rehab a number of times. I found him overdosed on fentanyl and flakka, on my guest bathroom toilet at 5:50 a.m. August 10th, 2015. I waited to call 911 and called a friend out of state who told me to call 911. I was in shock as his fingers were blue and I did not see his face as it was hanging down to the floor. I could not move him. I cry every day and night and it is 2 and half years since he died. I still have his music, autopsy report, birth certificate and medical cards and drivers license. I cannot afford to move from here. Erik, please rest in peace and I will see you in heaven I hope. Love mom xooxoxxoxoooxxo

Just over 3 years ago on July 5th I found out I lost one of my best friends to an heroin overdose. I had just seen you two days prior, you were coming out of a stint in jail & living in a half way house and you were clean. You sat on my bed with me and told me "I know this is my last chance". 2 days later, I woke up suddenly around 11:00pm with a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach, and the next morning I got the news that you had overdosed and passed away. I still feel you next to me, holding my hand for 6 hours while getting my first tattoo, I still hear your laugh and I carry our last hug with me every day. You were one of a kind, an old soul who never once did anything but try to support me & everybody around you, even at the hardest of times. You were kind, free spirited and I cherish all our memories together every day. July 5th changed my life, you were the one pushed me to get better- to WANT recovery for myself and for that, I am beyond thankful. You were so loved by so many people, and will always be. Rest in peace Ty, we love you forever. <3

Janine Arnold, I miss you every day. You were my soulmate, band mate, teacher, and closest friend ever. It's been three years and I know you have found peace but not everyone else has. Myself in particular still wonder if I had come over the day before if things may have not gone the way they did. Yes I know there were other overdoses and hospital stays. And even though I said those stays were getting to be too much I still believed that somehow that we'd get to a better place. I still hear your voice, telling me things I needed to learn. I just wish someone else had been able to tell both of us in way that we'd really hear that things could actually change. We'll meet again, as the song goes, don't know where and don't know when. But I know we'll meet again some sunny day. Bis dann Janine.

Remembering my husband Shawn Christie. Your sweet heart will be missed and is at peace now. The pups and I will miss you and see you again on the other side. Love always. Marietta, GA

This is for my lil sis Bridgett Gable Nichols (32) who we lost December 6 2014. She left behind 2children and I know she is my angel that is helping me stay clean so I won't end up leaving my kids as well. I will always be there for them as if they were mine. I'm so sorry your addiction won in the end an now we no longer have you here with us. I promise to always stay clean an sober for you sis...this is for you. Thank you God for my clean life an my family...I just wish she could have done the same thing an got and stayed clean. Until we meet again lil sis XOXO.

My man. My other half. He still makes my heart beat faster. Aaron is so well respected among his friends and business associates. He carried a deep rooted self hatred that nothing or no one could have changed.

To my loving son David, I miss you more everyday. All my love, Mom

Uncle Ed, Every single moment of every single day I think of you. I hope you know I'm working extra hard for you. I love you forever and always.

3 years ago my ex husband and father of my 3 sons overdosed on really a Molotov cocktail of everything. We divorced solely because I did not want That to happen right in front of us. August 31 is our youngest sons birthday. He will be 11. I can't explain how is final overdose has effected all of us. Shaken us to the core. There is and always will be an empty spot where his smile used to be. It wasn't his first overdose, just the last. How does the cycle end? I wish I knew. But my daily prayer is that someone somewhere will stop and think about those left behind.

I will be active in overdose awareness day August 31st. I make this tribute in memory of my daughter Lora who passed from an overdose October 27 2017. Cape Coral

My only son, forever 29, left this world 10/02/15. I will miss your smile, your hugs and laughter forever. A part of me is missing. You were an amazing cook who loved to cook for your friends and family. Your love of music was known by everyone and it's hard for me to even listen to it. We will see each other again on the other side my sweet son. Love Mama Dukes.i

To: Gavin. From: Dave It has not even been one year since the evil Heroin finally took you from us,it was a long road for us both. Now that your gone i can't help but feel ever so guilty over your death,all those years ago when we did not know any better as young kids we started using Heroin together but the thing that always sticks in my mind is the fact that i injected you on your first time because you were so scared of needle's,(that didn't last long) I wasn't a seasoned pro but i managed it,you were off your face and loving every moment of the rush you got,ever since that day there was no turning back for you ( i was already in its grip ) and for you it was also the start of a long nightmare. We both got wasted over the years and loved it but it eventually catches up with everyone. It was my dad who was told by a friend and rang me here in London to tell me you had died of an overdose,my world was shattered,my best friend from childhood was gone,the friend i had hoped would get clean because i myself had got clean many years before,settled down and even got married,something i never thought would ever happen to me and i wanted you to experience everything i had,i wanted you to get clean so much ut it was never to be my brother. I know live with the guilt of getting you strung out and maybe i deserve it,but we did love it at the time and never predicted what we was getting ourselves into. If i could change it my brother i would do it in a heartbeat. I struggle everyday to stay clean but you are helping me,i can feel your presence close by me all the time,especially when times are hard,THANK YOU. I love and miss you each and every day and cant wait to meet you again,keep me a space in heaven as i know you are there. I'm so sorry. I know you are at peace now and you don't have to worry about where your next few quid is coming from,all that nonsense is over for you. Rest in peace my friend,my health is not the best from all the abuse my body received over the years so my life will definitely be shortened by the abuse so keep an eye out for me,it will not be too long before i join you. Rest in peace.
