Tell Us About Them:

She was my only child. Smart and funny. Always there to help her friends but would never ask for help for herself - too proud and stubborn.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

I only knew about it for about 2 years - finding out now through her friends that it was going on much longer than that in other forms. 2 rehabs, one sober living - numerous jobs - IOP - she just couldn't shake the demon. I know she wanted to so very badly.

What Made Them Smile?

Animals and her friends

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

Her smile, humor and laughter - hugging her - her smell - the way she knew me better than I know myself - It was always just me and her against the world -

If You Had a Chance to Say One More Thing to Your Angel What Would It Be?

I love you and I'm sorry that I couldn't save you.
