Please help fight this issue. My son was 17 when he passed only 5 weeks after his bday witch has changed mine an my older son (21) an lil girl (8) lives jerasticly. He was the happy and out going part of our family, the best friend to each of us and our solid ground no matter what hit. Please don't ever take one second with a loved one for granted cause you never know when it can be your last or theres. My son Brendon Nicolaus Lavrar ODed on a prescription drug called methadone witch was carelessly being sold, passed along and left freely in homes close to ours. He knew nothing about them and it took him from us in Feb 27th, 2016. Please lock your meds up, keep them up high an away from people that don't need them, and if your not taking them dispose of them properly, save the next persons life and keep another family from goin through what we are still 17 months later....

For My Dear Niece Alison, You have now been gone for 2 months and we have just found out what caused your early death. Heart failure from a drug overdose. You are missed so very much and i am so sad that you chose to once again use drugs. I can not count the times you went in and out of treatment and every time i thought that this is it you got it!! You kicked this deadly illness. Alison a beautiful woman the light of our lives who tunneled into the world of addiction even as her life was going so well. Understanding it is difficult and being angry at it is normal. We all do have that right. You left us way to early and in leaving a huge hole is now in all of our hearts. Now what we must do is walk around that hole and not let it suck us down. I wish you well on this your new journey and when you look down remember that forever we will love you and honor your spirit. My prayer is that there will come a day that nobody any where in the world looses there life to drugs. Imagine how beautiful that would be.

In loving memory of Greg Singer ~ Sunrise: September 20, 1962 - Sunset: January 15, 2018. I didn’t fall in love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe we are only fated to do the things we’d choose to do anyway. And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you. I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with you, but then I realized you spent the rest of your life with me. Thank you for an amazing journey...see you on the other side. Beth Love you madly♥️Miss you more

My son's close friend (like a brother) died of a heroin overdose January 28, 2015.  We love and miss you, Kevin Grucza :(

On 2-6-17, our daughter Erica, 15 days before her 21st birthday, passed away from a Heroin overdose. We loved her so much and watched her hurt and struggle with depression and anxiety for several years. This led to her addiction. We miss her and grieve her everyday and will for the rest of our lives. She is with the Lord and is our Angel on earth now. I am certain she is one of the most beautiful Angels in Heaven! We love you Erica, Mom, Dad and Katie.

There is still a struggle
The struggle of living without you.

I just found out that I lost a really good friend, 2days after the fact, due to an opioid overdose! I've overdosed several times myself, but I've been very lucky! I just wanna say it is very important to let the ppl closest to a person, because the hardest part of an overdose is not being able to say good-bye!

We lost our amazing son, Jon to an accidental overdose from prescription drugs on July 7, 2014. He was 26 and embarking on a happy life working on his software start up, enjoying time with his girlfriend and had just welcomed a new puppy into his world.The devastating impact this has had is beyond words and we need to continue to bring awareness and education about the dangers of prescription drugs.

My beautiful daughter. It's been 37 days now since you were called home. I don't know how I've gotten through this far. This is the longest we've gone without speaking since you learned how to talk. I'm so sorry you left this world alone, I hope you didn't feel any fear. I'm not going to rest until I find out what happened to you, for real. I will continue to raise your babies as you would've. And they will always, always know how much you love them and that they are your world. As you are mine. If you didn't know that, I'm sorry!!!You have always been the light of my life. I not only love you, but I have always admired you. You're beautiful, funny, generous, smart, stubborn, independent, curious, adventerous, courageous, I could go on all day. You will always be a part of my everyday life. I hope too see you in my dreams, baby girl!!!!! Always and forever, Mommy

I lost my best friend in January,and the pain never goes away.. But I'm out here everyday dedicating my life to my movement to try and help save life's Motivation don't die

My biological mother tragically lost her life to an overdose recently. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to meet her. I am choosing to fight the opioid epidemic in honor of my beautiful mother. I will be forever broken that I never got the honor to meet her due to such a terrible illness. I love you mom.

To my oldest son...Austin; You were one of a kind. Big heart, beautiful soul, an honor to be your mother. You fought addiction harder than I have seen anyone else try. You also had bipolar, which was very difficult for you to face. But once again you took that on too and did your hardest to battle that problem as well. Thank you for being you and for loving your family and friends to the fullest. You are missed by us all. See you one day soon.... Love Mom

Forever in my heart Joseph M. Scarpone.  You are missed by so many friends and family.  Rest in peace my little boy.

To Ben, You are my old mate, always will be. Thinking of you daily. You'll never be far. All my love and kisses forever. Bella

In memory of Bess Davis 1999-2016 who's struggles ended her life to early. Your Sassy ways and your caring approach will be missed in the Austin community for years to come.

I can't believe it's been 6 years now since you've been gone. I know how much you struggled just to be you. I know how much you HATED the drugs and hated what you were doing. I'm sorry you felt so much pain. I'm sorry you could never feel the love that so many felt for you. When you died, I knew you were at peace and knew you finally FELT the love that everyone had for you. And that you have felt my love for you ever since.I sometimes wonder what my life would have been like to have you in recovery, what that would have been like for you. I wished you could have experienced that. I have never been ashamed of you, I am proud to be your older sister. Proud of the way you lived your life, the way you treated others and inspired others all the time. I am proud of your accomplishments and your drive in life. You taught me to dream and dream big. We all dream...and dreams come true. Thank you for staying with me the last 6 years in my dreams. I love you! Shannon Schou

To: Andrew (6/15/91-10/11/12) My dear son, I think about you every minute of everyday. How could an evil drug take hold of such a wonderful son? I am so lucky to have had you for 21 years. I love you Andrew, my precious son…

"Quandell come home. I want you to come home." He responded, "We'll talk about it." I hugged him hard and he embraced me back, but it seemed empty. I gave my son some money and he asked me where I was going. I told him I was going to see a play, and that night was the last time I saw my child standing. Ten days later he was laying in a Baptist Medical Center ICU fighting for his life. After 17 days on life support, he passed away, peacefully. Not in Winston-Salem. Not in some random room. Not on the streets. He did come back home, Greensboro that is to the beautiful Beacon House. there is not a day that my heart doesn't break at the thought of you, what you could have been, how beautiful you were to me, how dear you are to me. It still takes my breath away when I remember what you went through, so unnecessarily. Never a moment goes by that I don't feel you in my heart. The only peace I have is that you looked so handsome and beautifully peaceful lying there in the funeral home, like I could say, Quanee, and you would wake right up. I am so grateful to the Most High for the 17 days you were in the hospital and the 26 hours you were home in Greensboro, breathing, living, fighting with the help of the Father. And then, suddenly, without notice, you were free. You are free. And who the Son has set free is free indeed. I know one day, I will see you again for your are only asleep on the other side, parallel to the life I am walking out now in the flesh. Until that time Son, so long. I will see you in the morning and it will be glory, glory, hallejuah all around the throne of the Most High. I love you Quandell and I have always loved you. You had to go your path, it wasn't what I choose for your but it wasn't my choice to make. I never let go of you, and I still haven't. Never will. I'll see you in the morning Son. Good night my sweet boy. Sleep with the angels; I will see you in the morning.
Eternally,
Ma

To my darling sister. I hope that you're free from the pain that I know you were in. I will forever cherish the phone call you made to me exactly 1 month before you left us. I know not everyone in our family were so lucky. Thank you for looking after me when my own life wasn't so great, I will always look up to you as my second mother. Love you always, k. xx Australia

Jon was the light of the room. He was always trying to make you smile. He had an amazing personality and cared about everyone. His presence is truly missed. He was a best friend to many.

Nathaniel Evan Peterson - Forever loved, forever missed. At Sea in Grief written for Nathan, my son, on the occasion of the 2nd year of his passing @Diane McFarland Peterson Forever devoted to you, my child As I flounder in the fathoms of grief. Unknowing yet caring amid the swells Of hopeful divide between our worlds. My heart can find no purchase For I am alien to this place we once knew. Afloat as I seek unfettered buoyancy Aching to rejoin you in rebirth. Without moorage, meandering adrift The river of sorrow is my home. Plumbing the depths of my heart Seeking my bearings without you. My days are without direction. The compass scarcely guides my steps. Treading, swimming, diving...nothing consoles I long for the firm ground of you. Fragments of the joy of you remain. They ebb and flow within my gentle grasp. Like dreams, they melt away too quickly; A gossamer thread of memories must suffice. Help me cry, my beloved child For alone, my tears fall without release. I'm left bereft, unable to forget Your touch, your love, your sweetness.

Mikey Messer was one of the greatest men I've ever met. I instantly fell in love with his charisma, his contagious laughter, his beautiful smile that lit up a room, his huge heart of gold, and his faith. Mikey and I had been together almost 2 years and had our daughter just 5 weeks before he passed. He was an amazing boyfriend, father, friend, brother and son. We all miss him dearly.

My Father passed away after a week struggle in the hospital. When the blood was no longer flowing in the brain, he was brain dead. We decided, my sister brother and I. That out of respect of my fathers wishes we would let him naturally pass and unplug his life support. Nothing was working with the machines. So we did what we thought to be right. Within five mins his heart stopped. He passed away, from a heroin overdose. One of the hardest weeks of my life. I miss and love my father Stephen Reed very much. Only hope of our great Lord gives me hope and faith. Thanks for letting me share. Amanda Lawrence

My beautiful son Joshua Daughtry left his earthly form on February 22nd 2016. 29 years 8 months and 11 days was not long enough to have him in my life. I miss him so much. Babu Mommy loves you and misses you every moment of every day.

Darrick, Dear: I was always amazed that even after you left our house you had an uncanny way of always knowing when we had company and when there was food on the table! :) You, the only man among your "aunties". We delighted in your dancing eyes, your inquisitive mind, and your light-up-a-room smile. You are missed every day.

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.

Elvis, If I would only have known how you were truly suffering, maybe I could have done something to help you. You were my first love and the father of my first child.  I had to keep her away from your troubled life and I am not sorry about that but I wish I could have done something different to change the outcome. You suffered much in your short life by the hands of a alcoholic father and step mother and suffered abuse no child should ever have to endure. I will always love you and there will always be a part of you that is alive through our daughter. I hope you are finally at peace Love Michelle

I wish I could have done something to save you. I wish I had been able to fly you home for Christmas. I wish that when you reached out to your previous treatment center for help, they would have answered you sooner. I wish someone could have stopped you. I wish your halfway house would have put you on lockdown when you admitted to using instead of sending you home. I wish you hadn't been across the country. I wish you hadn't died alone. I wish I could have kept you safe. I feel like I did everything I could, but I also feel like it could never have been enough. I miss you every day, my beautiful daughter, forever young, brilliant, hilarious and full of hope. I am furious you died before me and empty without you.

I am climbing 100,000 feet on my bike this year in honor of my brother CJ, to get a natural high, and to increase awareness of the reality and the dangers of opioids and drug related overdose. I love you brother. I miss you everyday. I can feel you cheering me on and watching over me as I ride my bike. I hope we can save even one person from the chains of addiction.
