The National Addiction Memorial honors the loved ones we’ve lost.

Nick had the best sense of humor & the most contagious laugh to go with it. He was sensitive & kind with the sweetest soul. He loved to have a good time & brought that energy everywhere he went…loved his family and friends & was loyal to both.

He was a mama's boy until the end.
We were so close. I will always yearn for his hugs and ache for what should have been. I so deeply miss his love.

Strong-willed kind and generous spirit

Yearly pirate openers with Dad...Luke loved baseball. Summer vacations to the beach, Tennis matches in high school, swim meets all year round. Bowling tournaments

Everything

Competitive nature and strong work ethic

Ashley-Maria was the sweetest person and cared about the people she loved

Our last Christmas we were all together and her we celebrated her 25th birthday together. Also when we were all together to celebrate her one year of sobriety and her Sister, Alexsis spoke about how proud she was and presented her with a beautiful coin.

We will miss Ashley’s infectious laugh, her crystal blue eyes that would change like the colors of the ocean, her ability to make you feel special.

As someone who loved spending time with her family. A thoughtful, caring soul.

Dearly loved and always missed. His beautiful smile was always readily available. His quick wit kept his friends and family laughing and smiling too.
He wanted so much to be “normal” and had so much shame around his addiction.

Road-trips were a special time for us. There was always road-trip food - sour gummies & beef jerky. Lots of good conversations and time together. Sometimes there was even singing although definitely not good singing. 😁

I miss seeing him find the missing piece that he needed to get well. I miss his voice and his hugs. I miss the opportunity to see him mature, maybe marry and maybe make me a Grandma someday.

A kind, caring, smart young man who wanted to do better but ran out of time.

He was the first boy to steal my heart.

His presence, his smile, his hugs, him.

He was such a happy, fun loving and comedic guy. Always the life of the party.

He was talented and so sweet. Never met any he didn't treat with kindness and respect

His music and his sense of humor

His presence

As someone who loved God, his family,friends and his dog Shaq

Sean genuinely loved and cared about everyone he met. He gave the best hugs and he was so very loved. We miss you baby bird

His voice, his smile, his hugs, his love

He should be remembered as someone who excelled at sports, who was very bright, who would help anyone in need and who always showed so much love

She loved her kids "to the moon & back"

Jack was full of life, daring, and fun loving. He had charisma that lit up the room. He was loved.

We always went out Dancing

His smile his love his calls his presence

Happy music. And great memories

Robert was incredibly smart. He was Magnetic. He had a great sense of humor, He was third in line of us siblings. He was loved so much.

My favorite memories are memories of when we were children. He was vibrant, and the star of the show.

I will miss his seeing him hustle. He loved making money. It motivated him.

He would like to be remembered as someone that tried the best he could. He clearly lost his battle, but he wouldn’t want to go down without people knowing he gave it what he had. His addiction was just too strong.

Matthew was an incredibly easy baby. He was quiet, loving and sweet. He had beautiful eyes.

Our family trips to Cape Cod.

I miss how he would do funny accents and make us laugh.

As an athletic, smart, funny young man.

Amanda was born with genetics that set her up to struggle with addiction. Her genetics included alcoholism, depression, anxiety, and gambling.

She was using heroin, and found out she was pregnant. Without hesitation, she asked us to adopt the baby. Faith is now 7 years old and the spitting image of Amanda.

Her bubbly personality!

Amanda would like to be remembered as being a fun, happy person.

Nick was my baby, my sweet boy. He struggled with mental illness and substance abuse disorder nearly all of his short life. He was a talented musician and a kind soul. I miss him terribly.

He was the kind of person that truly brought the best out in people. He was so loved by all who knew him and he loved back.

Every day spent with him. The way smiled and laughed was infectious... and mischievous.

Everything. Every single thing we miss about him.

For those of us lucky to have known him or even it was just a brief interaction, he is always popping up in ways we recognize. It's saddening to think of those who missed out on meeting this spectacular human being.
