Tell Us About Them:

Erik never realized how amazing he really was. He had one sisters athletic ability, and the others brain. He was outgoing, funny, and artistic.


Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

It took control over him. Nothing could stop him from getting what he wanted. Addiction, Heroin, drinking stole my brother. He became angry, lazy, depressed, a criminal.

His Friends around, animals, family, cookie cake, skateboarding.


What Do You Miss the Most About Them?
