My beautiful daughter lost her life at the age of 19 – laying alone in her car. She thought she could sleep it off. She didn’t want to die.She tried over and over to get healthy – and felt like a failure with every relapse. Brooke was a fighter. She is my hero. I miss her every single day, more and more it seems. We need to educate our children at a young age! The stigma that surrounds an addict is killing them! Addiction is Real. It doesn’t discriminate. The moment you think it cant happen to you, or yours — think again. In memory of my daughter – Brooke Erin Simmers —
