Tell us what they were like before they developed a substance use disorder*

Luis was a beautiful soul inside and out, He loved his family and would always put a smile on my face. He would always come to me and say grandmom can we talk, i miss those days. He lived for his daughter. she meant everything to him. He was outgoing. had many friends. He was the first one to graduate in the family. He made me proud. Always wanting to help the next person when they need something. .

Tell us about their struggles with substance use disorder

Luis struggled with everyday life. I don't know much about his struggle with substance abuse, he had only been using a month or so before he died.

What made them smile?

His daughter

What do you miss the most about them today?

Our talks, going out to lunch and dinner. I really do miss everything about him.

If you had a chance to say one more thing to today what would it be?

I love you and wish i could have done more.
