I lost my son Tayler on October 28, 2015 do to accidental overdose. He was only 21 years old. It was a combination of fentanyl patch and xanex. I lost a piece of my heart and soul that day. I miss him every day. He had his whole life ahead of him. He was loving , caring he had the most contagious laugh. He left an impression on every one he met. I wish that people would be better educated on what the effects of combining drugs can do to a person and their families

I lost my oldest son Chris Swan to a heroin and cocaine overdose on July 6, 2012, at age 39.  I Wil never forget that day when a detective called me to tell me my son had died.  I had no idea he was using drugs. It was the worst day of my life.  I never got to tell him goodbye.  I miss hearing his voice.  These four years have been hard.  How I wish he was still here.  I love and miss him so much. I never thought any of my children would die before me.

To my beautiful and talented son, Brian Pollard...Mother's Day 2016 you left this physical world. Your battle with heroin took you away, just past your 32nd birthday. I miss you so much, as do your sweet daughters, your brothers and family. When your brother Sean got married a couple of weeks ago, he scattered some of your ashes in the Frio River. Hours before the wedding I found 6 hawk feathers, so I know you were there with us. We used them in the flower arrangements on all the tables. I love and miss you so very much...it's amazing what the heart can endure. Rest in peace, my son, and know how much you will always be loved 💖

I found your website and feel compelled to respond as I sit silently in a hospital room with the love of my life . Watching his vital signs, securing his oxygen tubes, waiting for him to wake up from this nightmare to get back to our wonderful life . Last night someone gave him heroin for the first time, and within minutes he stopped breathing, turned blue, and went into pulmonary arrest. I watched in horror as many people tried to save his life while he remained completely unresponsive . He was intubated in the ambulance and given prompt medical treatment which saved his life. He is mostly unconscious today while he suffers with aspiration pneumonia and withdraw symptoms. He will likely discharge from the hospital in a couple days . We were lucky, very, very lucky!  My heart breaks for those whose loved ones don't wake up from this nightmare ....such a sad, sad, waste of precious lives ?. Why do we seek quick fixes? Fast highs from substances that take our souls? I see today is international drug overdose awareness day ---oh how very aware I am now ! I knew better, he knew better, we were not ignorant to the reality that alcohol and drugs destroy and kill! We have lost many family members and friends to addiction and overdose. Yet we give into temptation anyway! We risk our lives anyway, we risk the horror that others must face in our wake ? I pray that God will help and free us all!

Michael Andrew Davies...aka Drew, passed away of a fatal heroin and fentanyl combined overdose on February 18,2016. The most beautiful soul on earth was taken from us because he could not overcome this disease. I love you Drew, you are my best friend and you encourage me through prayer and dreams to stay clean myself. I love you.

I lost my son Shawn David Rardin Blumer on March 20, 2016 to a fentanyl/ heroin overdose. He was so loved by so many. I lost my son and 1/2 my heart that day. Sorry I couldn't save you Shawn!! We love and miss you! I hope you are up there somewhere riding your "Flying Lion" and happy!!
I love you and miss you!! Fly high Son!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Jonathon S. Golden    8/22/1987 - 5/9/2016 An amazing brother, friend and son. Jon impressed me with his wit and humor; he had the best impressions and always came up with hilarious nicknames for everyone. He was a super talented artist. Everywhere we went, he was drawing on napkins and receipts. He was in love with Boston and would take photos all around the city of landmarks, views and every-day happenings. Most of all, he was an amazing brother and loved spending time with his family. Jesse and I will always take you with us through our life, we hope we make you proud. Stay with us, angel.

Dearest Patrick, March 17th, 2014 was the most horrible day of my life. He's passed my sister said. 23 years old and St. Patrick's Day. A warm and wonderful human being. Your life filled my life. My only brother, my beautiful brother. Dead from this spiritual sickness, manifested in the form of heroin and benzos. I have work to do still in this world, but I will find you again, I promise you that. I love you.

Remembering my youngest child and only daughter, Megan Alexandria   Johnson May 2 1992- March 10 2011. Only 19 years old. She was very bright and had so much to offer this world. She was a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul. She lost her life and probably would be here today if she wouldn't have been left alone and had gotten medical attention. She passed less than 2 miles from a hospital. I believe that's the issue  that we need to educate people on, is to not leave someone that is possibly overdosed.  So many sons and daughters could be saved.  RIP sweet girl. See you again one day

In loving remembrance of my son, Tobin Nash Nelson Nichols, 07/30/1979 - 02/13/2011.  You are in my heart daily and always.  I love you.

Our dear Colin - we miss you so very much. My son died 10/11/11 of a heroin overdose, still is so unreal and too hard to hold this truth. I ache to have more time, to be able to take away his struggle and pain. The drugs took away my son before he left. We had our beautiful times together - but all too fleeting. His sisters adored him and he was the sweetest big brother who loved them so so much. They too struggled with his choices - but stayed his constant - always loving him. Colin was so much more than his drug use - he was so smart, and gentle and curious about the universe. a unique beautiful being. We love you Colin forever, Mom, Lynne and Kelly

In memory of my late husband Jason William Nolan 9/03/1978 - 3/03/2011. Love you always, miss you terribly. Forever you will be my "diamond in the rough".

My sweet sister Donna miss you everyday

My struggle only began 3 years ago with a injury at work many surgeries later I'm completely addicted to prescription pain meds many failed attempts to get clean and to many close calls to an overdose I reached a point I felt my life was over I'm a true believer in methadone maintenance it saved my life but not before it almost took my niece's life she got a heavy dose of heroin and fentyl thank the LORD she made her way into a populated store before falling out and CPR was administer by a customer but she was on a ventilator and placed in a medically induced coma for weeks we were not sure what her future was to look like eventually she woke up but she will never be the same she needs round the clock care and is basically a toddler again my niece is only 29 with her whole life ahead of her she has been battling her addiction since she was a teenager it almost took her from us and I see how it has taken its toll on our family and I do not want to put them threw it also I don't want to die or become a vegetable if you are addicted please STOP I know it's hard get help get help now before it's to late you are worth it you deserve to be clean and sober Catasauqua

My Beautiful daughter Whitney died from an overdoes May 2013. In her suicide letter she wrote about the relentless pain she felt with depression, and was obsessed with suicide every day. Whitney was missing for 2 months and her body was found in a parking garage. Her body was so decomposed it took 2 weeks to identify my baby. She had taken several overdoses before her death. I feel such anger towards the doctors who kept prescribing her medications. My life will never be the same, a part of me died with Whitney. The pain and guilt I feel is unbearable.

It has been a mere few months since you left us on May 21,2013 yet everyday I feel the pain as though it just happened. Alyssa was a beautiful 20 yr old who we were blessed to have as a daughter and sister. Her smile was big, her laugh and her heart bigger. She has left a huge hole in our family that of course will never be filled. She fought her disease for 3 long years but in the end it took her life. As a family we will continue to advocate and educate.... your death will not be in vain. We know you are in a safe place with no pain, no suffering and look forward to being reunited with you someday. Love and miss you so much Lys xoxoxx <3 Mom, Dad and Jamison

To all my many friends who have been lost to drug overdose, I think of you every day and you will always live on within our hearts

I have lost way to many friends and family to overdose to even attempt to leave a tribute individually. I remember however my last day using. I had a bent up needle trying to force it into my veiens. Not knowing exactly what was in the substance I was about to inject but I do remember the fear of wandering if I would live  due to the fear of overdosing but the sickness overtook that fear and I completed the task that had taken over my life. The next day my daughter asked me "when was I going to stop being selfish" I heard her for the first time. I called the detox and fortunately was able to get a bed. That was August 21,2015 and I am still in the fight. Some days are wonderful my new life filled with new challenges but there are those days and moments when that old thought creeps in and says" maybe we can do one more". Those that I have lost have answered that question for me. There is no "one more" for me. so a day at a time sometime a minute at a time i am in the battle to save my life. saw a facebook post on a friends FB page last night saying' My brother od'd today and he fought a GOOD FIGHT against this disease unfortunately he lost" . GOD bless her and those that are still battling and the family and friends of those that have felt the pain of losing someone or multiple folks and those that will feel the pain. #Thisdiseasesucks!

Rest in peace stacey. Taken too soon.

Susan I know you tried to get sober and clean but I know in my heart that you could not beat your addiction down. May you rest in peace and know we will love and miss you forever! Thanks for being my friend for 18 yrs! I feel like there are times I can't breath cause you can't answer! It will be hard to let go, hard not having you around in my presence. God Bless!

This is a tribute to my beautiful daught Daria...I miss you everyday. She died on 9/17/09 after 27 hrs. on life support. She was clean for 4 mos. I miss so much but I miss your crazy dancing and your tender heart. You had the softest skin ever and I miss touching your hand. I love you forever. Mom

In remembrance of my dear son, Andy, who at the age of 32, passed away from a Heroin Overdose. He succumbed to this awful disease just 3 weeks ago on 7/30/15. We will forever love and remember you, Andy...Rest for you are now at peace...Love,Mom.

Keely Rae Stansill passed away Aug 17,2010 . Daughter, mother, sister, friend to many. I love and miss you so very much !

Five years ago I heard my brother say I love you one last time as he squished his face against my bedroom window of our apartment that we shared. He never made it home that night. The next day, paramedics called me asking me if I was his sister and if I could met them at a hospital. I called my youngest brother and my father. They got there first. My youngest brother called me in tears and said "Jenn.... Get here..." And then my step mother called me sobbing uncontrollably. My father said "where are you? Are you driving?" I said no. Then I said "dad what happened?" He said "Tony's dead". I fell to the ground crying. We reached my mother finally and she rushed to the hospital. The next day was Mother's Day. Five years have passed since I heard his beautiful voice, his amazing laugh, saw his beautiful smile. I miss you with all of my heart. I love you yesterday, today and tomorrow. Hold on loosely but don't let go! RIP Tony. 7/11/1984-5/8/2010

On January 15th of this year I lost my daughter Christine Erbe to an overdose. She was 21 years old. When thinking she got heroin, she got fentanyl instead. She was 30 days clean when this happened. She never showed any signs of addiction. She never looked any different than she did any other day. She was healthy, full of life, and always happy. No one ever suspected that she would have a drug addiction like this. I am living every day for her now. I keep her memory alive through car decals, memory bracelets, t-shirts and now an event on August 31st to remember her. She was my only child. I live my life for her. Now I live it without her, but for her in so many other ways.

I can't come to terms with this. I love you so much. I miss you ... Every min of every day as do your children.

My much loved and only daughter, Holly Leigh Copeland passed away on May 27th, 2014 from a heroin overdose. She was just 26 years old. She will be greatly missed by her parents. We pray that God will hold her in his arms and keep her safe. We love you always, Mom and Dad

Joshua, how much myself and your boys miss you. I'll always wish there was something more I could have done to change the course of what happened. I loved you so much. My only hope is that you no longer have to suffer in this world. As long as this life allows me, your son will be in the best hands.

In loving memory of Grayson Kent. Your laughter and smile live forever in our hearts...4/5/93-7/9/12

This tribute is to my dad Leonard "Jr" 08.18.67 - 02.27.14 My dad struggled with his addiction/ sickness for a long time. I've seen him overdose multiple times and each time I thought: "Is this going to be the time he doesn't come to?" But I would pray for him to get one more chance, and he would pull through (as a result of throat cancer, which he beat, he had to do chemo and radiation and his body became very weak and could overdose easily). My mom and dad have been together close to 30 years but in November 2013, my mom had all she could take and we moved about 2 hours from Dallas, (where we are from) we would tell my dad if he didn' stop doing heroin he would eventually be found dead in his room since my mom and I weren't there to save him any more. He never really had a reply to that. Well I would go back to Dallas several times a month so my daughter and I could see him. He loved my baby probably more than me, and she was the same to him. They had a bond like no other, and he had been there since she was born and she will be 2 in May. Well, I went to see him February 18th and left the 20th to go home. I would always ask him to get help and he did want help, he really did, but didn't try hard enough. I got to the point that I didn't even care and would ignore the fact that he was high because no matter what he was still a great dad and papa. That's why I continued to visit him.. I loved him regardless! We talked on the phone every day, so when my mom, myself, and my brother hadn't heard from him by around 3pm February 27th, we were concerned. Since my brother lives in Dallas my mom told him to go check on my dad and he told her he hated when he would go to check up on him because he didn't want to find him dead. But he would go anyway. On that day my brother's, and all of our fears came true. He found my dad lying on his bed, lifeless. I don't even want to imagine how Craig felt seeing our dad actually dead. He called and told my mom and she lost it. It hit me when a paramedic confirmed he wasn't alive and hadn't been for quite a while. That is what bothers me most, the thought of him being in such a situation and needing help but he didn't get it and died alone. The crazy part is that my daughter woke up around 4am and got out of my bed and went and woke my mom up, and kept saying 'papa', usually she wakes me up if she gets up in the night, but it was different that time, and I thought it was strange even before we found out about my dad. I think she had a feeling, some kind of 'vibe' that something was wrong. I truly believe he left this evil world to go on to Heaven at 4 o'clock in the morning, 02/27/2014. I have my days where I am fine and don't cry, but more often than not I cry and cry just at the thought of him, and me not being able to call when I knew I always could. He was my number 1, and always will be. I do not want to get married, because he will not be there to give me away. That was his place, no one else's. I do not have any regrets or guilt from my dad's death. I did everything I could to help him but in the end it didn't work and really was his choice. I talked to him all the time, visited, and did whatever I needed to for him. Heroin in the worst thing to ever hit the streets. It isn't only an addiction it's a sickness. I didn't intend for this to be so long. Hopefully this will be help to someone who has gone through this, and to know it is okay to cry, it is okay to grieve. Look at pictures and listen to songs that remind you of them. I was blessed enough to have my dad in my life for 21 years, and for my daughter to know him for almost 2. I love you dad, not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind. I'll see you at Heaven's doors one day.

The love of my life passed seven years ago when my daughter was four.  Answers aren't there,  closure no where in sight. It's hard to understand. I love and miss him so much.  My daughter is having a hard time remembering him.  I have a few videos and pics 1000th ankle goodness.
