Tributes

My mother Denise died alone of an overdose while living unhoused in Fresno. It was habit she had tried to kick since I was born, but after losing custody of my sister and I (this time permanently) she worked hard to get sober.

I didn’t find out until I was older my mother was living with schizophrenia and PTSD, both of which were untreated. I wish she could have gotten access to the mental healthcare and housing she needed. Despite being a young and struggling adult myself at the time of her passing, I have felt guilty these past not being able to do more.

This year I finally earned my masters degree and will be getting married in the fall. I wish you could share these celebrations with me. I love you mama, I understand you, and I forgive you. I won’t forget you in the work I do, how I treat others, and how I move through this world. Thank you for the laughter, car karaoke, and a love for reading.

My sweet son Austin was 22 when he passed and was the most loveable,kind, funniest man. He would of given you the shirt of his back! He was the best son I will miss you forever rest easy and peacefully my son mamma loves you forever.

Sam.. I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since I’ve seen you’re face, heard you’re voice, seen you smile, felt you’re touch. This has truly been a nightmare I can’t wake up from. My Love there’s not a day I don’t think about you and wish you were still here with me and our baby boy.. life will never be the same. Caden is your twin as we’ve always known. But now that you’re not here it’s even more clear. He misses you so much daddy, it’s been so hard to try to find ways for him to understand you’re gone. I’ve told him to look In the sky you’re always watching us. I never imagined I’d just be him & I now. We had it all 7 years together we created a family together we raised our baby for 3 years and that’s all we got.. I’m heartbroken I’m lost I’m holding on for our son. I love you more then words forever my Sam Sam🫶🏼 Caden will always know daddy is forever in our hearts..

You are dearly missed by family and friends, God has called you to be with him, now you’re in heaven. I miss the funny jokes you use to tell us at the family gatherings. Love you !

Brother, I miss you immensely. You’ve been gone 19 months and I wake up every day in disbelief. I believe you’re now finally free and I try so hard to reconcile that with how much I miss you.

My only son, I miss you desperately and think about you everyday. He was a loving father of 3, an uncle to 5 , and a goofy but caring brother to 2 sisters . He had a heart of gold and the politeness of ten men. Missed terribly by Mom, Richard, Jenn and Shannon

Every day I grieve for you. Miss your bear hugs. You are loved by more people than you knew. A hole in my heart that will never heal. Clean for so long and then relapse took you down. So many what ifs. You were so kind and caring to all and giving to those who went without. I love you Bro and your name is spoken daily. You name sake is so much like you, His voice sounds like you and his walk. The sense of humour you had lives on in all the children. Until we meet again (I know your spirit is aways here)
Love bi sis

Sweetheart
We are approaching the third anniversary of the day we lost you, September 12,2021 at the age of 26.
We tried so hard to get you through this but that devastating and powerful disease was too much and you unfortunately were not able to overcome it.
We love and miss you so much,

To my Baby Brother ,
I miss you so much, and ill love your forever
Forever your Big Sister .

On this day, International Overdose Awareness Day, I can’t stop thinking about how much I miss you. I would do anything for another hug and kiss from you. I hope you’re watching over me and waiting for me on the other side. You left us so young, but that just means you’ll be as handsome as ever when we meet again.

I love you, my sweet, sweet boy. Be free.

“The Sunshine of my Life”
I miss my first-born grandchild/best friend so very much each and every day. I miss your contagious smile and your warmth. You are deep within my thoughts. I will always love you and hold you in my heart. Sending hugs until I see you again.

I remember the day you were born my first grandchild and I remember the day you moved onto your next life. I was there both days. I tried with all my nursing efforts to bring you back but at that time I did not know the horse tranquilzer “Tranq” had been mixed in the heroin you did. Now I know and I come to terms with it but still miss you and love you so much!

You sincerely were an angel from above. I know that you are looking down on us all. Love you, Mike 🩷💙

You are missed every day and loved so much. I can not wait to hug you when I get there. You are free from your battle of addiction.
Love, Mom.

That fall day in 2018 when we learned wed lost you is forever etched in our minds. I wish I only had joyous memories of you but our hearts are filled with pain, sorrow, grief and regret. May you be painfree in eternity. I miss you dearly and will always love you my big brother 💙
