My Tribute: My brother was a good soul. His addiction did not define him, it did steal him from us. He is so greatly missed. The world has lost a man who by his very nature was lived by everyone who met him. A Good Samaritan and awesome son, husband, father, brother and friend, his death leaves a void in many lives. He wanted to stop using heroin. He hated the pain it brought in his life. His promises and resolution to quit were real and authentic. Heroin was stronger then his determination. It was a demon that took control of his mind, his will power and eventually his life. May he rest from the torment that his addiction brought him. May his soul and spirit find peace in death. May he know how deeply he is loved now and forever.

I miss you greatly Freddy. I love you.

He loved playing video games with his friends and was the smartest person I ever knew. Michael was always quick to give you a compliment and to tell you that he loved you. I will always miss him. I will always love him. I can’t wait to see you again Michael. I miss you every day.

My Tribute: My father Richard had a hard life battling addiction. He was injured at work but was in the middle of getting his business together so he declined surgery and decided to just get pain killers instead. My father then got hooked on these drugs and once his supply of them ran out he switched to heroin. He battled addiction for 10 years going in and out of rehab trying to better himself. My father returned to living in the same area as my family. My mom had remarried and that left my father with no one. He lived in a 20×20 foot room in the upstairs of an old lady’s house. He only had me that kept in touch with him and come visit and go out with him. My father then was prescribed annex. He started abusing these drugs and before I could speak up to him, the nice old lady he had roomed with found him dead in his room from a herion overdose. My father was a caring wonderful man and he did not deserve this at all. Now he is at peace.

My Tribute: My son was only 33 years old. He passed away 10 days ago. Some moments I feel like how do I go on. I lost my mother in 1989 due to drugs and alcohol , I also lost my granddaughter in 2006 , both deaths were very devastating but this is the worst pain ever. I miss him so much and I feel like maybe if I did more he would still be here. I sincerely hope that no other parent has to go through this. Thank you for listening sincerely , Karen B

My Tribute: I will have a Ryan shaped hole in my heart for the rest of my life. I couldn’t love anyone more than I loved him, my firstborn blonde, blue-eyed beautiful boy. My handsome, helpful, clumsy, clever, awkward, untidy, annoying, fussy, funny, wonderful, son who looked like me and could see right through me. I love you my son and I’ll miss you forever.

My Tribute: To know my son, was to love my son. Brandon lost his battle with addiction May 19, 2016. He fought his addiction for 4 years. He was in a wonderful rehab, St Christopher’s Inn from November til February. Unfortunately this disease got the better of him. He started with pills and ended up on heroin, he would always tell me he was ok, I did try to help him and left no stone unturned for him. Brandon was an amazing man who would do anything for anyone. He loved sports (49ers, Mainers) his friends and family, his pet dog Aldon and his love for making pizza, if asked he would tell you he was the worlds greatest pizza maker. He is missed dearly each and everyday. He is always in my heart.

My Tribute: My Keri was a beautiful daughter, wife and mother of 2 beautiful girls. She had a wonderful personality and loved helping people. I miss her so much. She was my baby girl that I always wanted. Her smile and laugh could light up any room. She had a beautiful sparkle in her eyes, I can’t believe she is gone. Fentanayl took her away from all of us. I no longer have my baby girl and her babies no longer have their mommy. I hate this drug crazed world we live in. She was clean for over a year…I wish I knew what pushed her over that day. What happened to make her feel that was the only escape she had……One very heart broken mother.

My Tribute: An incredibly intelligent young man, always at the top of his class in school. Teachers used to ask him to tutor other students who were struggling. He had a unique perspective on the world and could always see sides of an issue that others couldn’t. He used to be an altar boy at church and volunteered to help with Sunday school classes. Loved all animals, but especially loved dogs. Worshiped the ground his little sister walked on, very protective of her and his mama. Quick sense of humor that would have you rolling on the floor laughing. Had a quick temper too, but a heart as big Texas. Always volunteered to help our elderly neighbors with whatever they needed, no charge or expectation of payment. God I miss you, son. Your mama and family love you so much. We’ll see you.
