2012/07/11 - Michael Kramer - Age 23 yrs - Federal Way, Washington

Submitted by: Paula Kramer - Parent

Name: Michael Kramer
State:  Washington, 98023
Date of Passing: 7/11/2012
Date of Birth: 1/26/1989
Age: 23 

Tell Us About Them:

Michael was our middle child of three. He has an older brother and a younger sister. Michael was a happy, fearless child who was a natural leader until he got in to school and then his struggles began as his learning style did not fit the "norm" for how we teach in public schools. Watching Michael over the years was like watching a beautiful flower wither. We tried everything we could think of to support him and help him know how capable he was. If I could do any of it over again, I would pull him from school and have home-schooled him.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

He began smoking weed by the 8th grade and then just started checking out. He quit school and was running during his teen years. We tried residential treatment and everything we could think of and what they tell you to do in AA. He finally went to the Union Gospel Mission and for a wonderful few months we had our son back, but he ended up getting kicked out and then went back to what he knew. He wasn't using heroin until the last year or so when it became cheaper and easier to get. We had no idea he was using it until just a few months before he died. The last few months were torture watching him spin further and further out of control.

What Made Them Smile?

Michael had such a wonderful heart and great sense of humor. He loved animals and playing video games and when he was younger he loved camping with us riding his dirt bike.

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

His quirky humor and big embrace.

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

I love you and I'm sorry.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

Bridget struggled from a young age with addition. She started drinking and smoking pot. Then came the heroin. When I found out she was addicted to heroin we called tons of places trying to ger help. She went to the emergency room several times to no avail. She then got into a rehab program in Richmond Ky. I think she stayed 5 months before she was kicked out. For a while after she stayed clean, but then she fell off the wagon. The day she dies she was alone at my moms. I guess she was thinking she could do the same amount she always did and got a bag of bad stuff.

Bridget loved her nieces. She loved shopping and doing makeup and hair. Before her addicition was bad she loved spending time with family and friends.

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

State:  Maryland, 21801
Date of Passing: 1/21/05
Date of Birth: 9/15/77
Age: 27 

Tell Us About Them:

My mom was one of the most loving and caring human beings I've ever met. She made an amazing mother, wife, and RN. She had two children, whom she loved more than anything. She was smart, funny, and selfless.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

Many people did not know she struggled with addiction.. She was one of those all A students who you just knew would go Ivy League, someone you would never expect to be an addict. She didn't look like an addict, she was beautiful. She didn't have addict tendencies, poor job, poor living conditions. She didn't have a bad home life like most people assume is how you become an addict. She was just your everyday average mother, who suffered with an addiction nobody saw coming.

What Made Them Smile?

Her family. There isn't a single picture you can find where she isn't smiling ear to ear around her family. Some of my fondest memories include my mom & I sitting and watching The Golden Girls and eating dunkin donuts.

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

I miss my mom's I love you's the most. I miss her dropping me off to school and telling me she loves me more, every single day. I miss the way she laughed and how her face would get so red. I miss the way she cared more than anyone, even when it was a tad bit ridiculous. I remember one time I was eating hot spaghetti o's. I told her my chest started to hurt (probably because I scarfed down hot soup) but not even 15 minutes later she was crying her eyes out as I'm being taken in an ambulance.. Turns out I had heartburn lol.

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

Mom, 
I wish you could have been here for all my accomplishments. In the past 10 years I've gone to prom, graduated high school, gone to college, even picked my career. I wish you could have been there to remind me how important school is when I needed it the most. I wish you could have been my shoulder to cry on when i went through all the heartbreaks. I wish you could have come to my cheerleading competitions (I've gotten really good since Salvation Army) I wish you could have been there to do all the things mom's do.. Even though you haven't been with me these past 10 years, thank you for making me stronger. Thank you for helping to guide me to the right path. I'll always love you more.

Date of Passing: June 8, 2015
Date of Birth: May 9, 1981
Age: 34 

Tell Us About Them:

Aaron was a total goofball. He loved to laugh and make others laugh. He loved to watch movies and had a pretty extensive collection. He also enjoyed music like Tool & Nirvana. He had a heart of gold and would truly do anything for anyone.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

Aaron suffered from a childhood disease which left him with chronic pain for his entire life. The addictions started back in his early teenage yeara with pills then escalated throughout the years. He had bouts of being "clean" while attending a methadone clinic for years at a time. Most people assume that he died from a heroin overdose when in fact he did not. Heroin was not even present in his system. He died from intoxication due to the combined effects of fentanyl, acetyl fentanyl, xanax and valium. In my heart, however, i believe he thought it was heroin though.

What Made Them Smile?

Stand up comedy, his family... simple things really...

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

I miss his personality. I miss the way he used to do even the littlest things. I miss him calling me "babe" constantly.

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

I will always love you and Im so sorry i didnt try harder to get you help that could have saved your life.

She was depressed without her kids and was admitted for 5 days to behavior health. About 3 weeks after being released she bought what she thought was Heroin and she passed away from overdose 5/4/15. We found out a few months later that it was actually fentanyl in large quantity that killed her.

Name: Damien Smith
State:  Michigan, 49622
Date of Passing: 01/07/2015
Date of Birth: 12/9/1977
Age: 37 

Tell Us About Them:

Damien was an amazing athlete in high school. He played in a men's basketball league for many years and fought in the cage in a fight league. He would be the first to fight a family or friend's battle for them. He was also a very loving, patient father to two beautiful little girls. He was a roofer by trade and would share job site pictures from rooftops overlooking scenic lakes from "his office window". He loved sports, telling jokes, fishing, family bonfires and watching his little girls grow and learn. He loved a good steak dinner and pineapple upside down cake.

Tell Us About Their Struggles With Addiction:

I believe he became addicted to opiates when he broke his jaw in a fight and was prescribed narcotics after having surgery to wire his jaw closed. He survived an overdose in his late 20s, and spent a year and a half in prison on a drug charge. He met his daughter for the first time in prison. He wrote letters home about taking responsibility for his mistakes and starting a new life caring for his daughter. He had a family who loved him fiercely and two little girls who thought the world of him, but he lost his battle on a cold, wintry night to a fetanol/heroin overdose.

What Made Them Smile?

Watching his little girls have fun, sharing stories and jokes with his friends and family.

What Do You Miss the Most About Them?

I miss his huge bear hugs, his chuckle, and stroll through the kitchen with his "hey ma" greeting while he looks for something good to eat. I miss watching him love on his children and playfully tease his girlfriend.

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

I wish I knew how to save him. I loved him all his earthly life and will miss him the rest of mine. I am so grateful for the greatest gift he ever gave me, his two beautiful daughters, and how they remind me so much of him.
