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

Angela struggled with her addiction for nearly 30 years and her demons are gone now. She's at peace, she's healed and happy, and never forgotten. Life wasn't easy for her but she chose her path and always accepted the consequences.

Road trips always took a long time because she had to make pit stops so often!

Sharing the same spiritual philosophy and our special relationship as mother and daughter. She was always honest with me, always "cried on my shoulder", always asked me to be part of her crazy life. Angela didn't really need me but she made me feel like she did.

Stubborn, hard-headed Taurean who loved animals and people; quick to get angry but quicker to forgive; loved with her whole heart, even when she got the raw end of the relationship; rescued more animals than she could ever care for; missed beyond measure

My family takes comfort in knowing that we loved our Joey so much. He was so handsome and funny- truly one of a kind. We miss him fiercely.

Whenever my brother was around, it was a good time. We have so many wonderful memories and some tough ones too. We are blessed to have many pictures of videos of Joey. We are committed to keeping his memory alive.

Joey loved his family with everything he had. We miss the love he gave us and our hearts break for the love we still want to give him.

Joey would want to be remembered as handsome and funny as well as loyal and genuine.

Such a beautiful young lady inside and out Tiffs beauty held no boundaries a intelligent beyond her years .and a big hugh heart ❤️. And will never be forgotten.

Going to a Astros game so much fun.

Every single night when I went to bed I layed in bed and we texted each orther every 🌙 night .

By sharing love with the family. And giving to animals.

Kevin was a happy go lucky child with an infectious smile & laugh, and loved by all knew him. He had many hobbies, loved children and animals. He maintained that infectious smile even while fighting his darkest demons!

He will be missed for his contagious laugh, warm heart as well as his shenanigans. He made people happy anytime they were in contact, whether it was a memory shared or planning a new adventure.

There was no better son, brother or friend, someone you could count on through good times and bad. He was always willing to help you through the tough times regardless of what it cost him, and he deeply felt the pain of others.

Beautiful, quirky, compassionate.

Making messes in the kitchen, being completely obnoxious together and lighting off fireworks. Riding bikes and Stealing soda as kids.

her laugh, practical jokes, singing as loud as we could in the car, the prank phone calls, and my best friend.

As a fighter. A devoted mother. An inspiring aunt. An adored neice. A daughter like no other... and a sister that can't be replaced.

Courtney was beautiful inside and out. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She was determined, proud, and brave, and exemplified the meaning of resilience. She had a big presence and could light up a room.

Courtney was a natural athlete and skating was her passion early in life. She had amazing grace and beauty on the ice and watching her compete are wonderful memories. We also cherish our memories of the smaller things - our family dinners and the recent delight she experienced caring for our new puppy "Poppy."

We will miss Courtney's laughter, her love and knowledge of professional sports, and her insightful opinions and thoughts about the challenges she faced.

Courtney would want to be remembered as an avid football and basketball fan who loved her favorite teams, the Patriots and the Celtics. She loved and had a talent for cosmetics, and her cat Charlie was her world. She would want her family and friends to know that she cared deeply for them and always kept them close to her heart.

A tough exterior with a sweetheart inside. You worked with your hands and had a very creative mind. In any project you always gave it your all. You loved hard and cared so deeply for your family and friends.

Going to the park and playing nerf guns with the kids. You were always good with children; playing, goofing-around, protecting and spoiling them too.

Your sense of humor and your smile. You always were quick with a joke or some trash talk but your smile was a rare gift.

One of a kind. A hardworking man and loving father to Jason and Lily.

Spencer never hesitated to express his love for his family and friends. Spence had a soft spot for animals of all kinds. He tried to extract the most fun from every moment of his life. He smile was big, laugh was loud and personality infectious.

My favorite memories of Spencer are the very simple ones whether it was laughing in the car together, watching old reruns or making breakfast for him. He made others feel special and loved. He never entered the room without giving everyone a big hug and reminding them that he loved them. We recently spent an amazing day moving him into his new apartment. I loved seeing how proud and excited he was for this new phase of life.

I will miss Spencer rushing thru the door, hearing his voice and awaiting a big hug. Spencer was always in motion and encouraged me to do more. I will miss experiencing adventures with him whether it was vacations, sports or just grabbing a quick lunch together. I will miss seeing Spencer grow into a man, have the family he always wanted and find his unique way in life. I don't think there is anything that I won't miss about my son.

Spencer should be remembered for his love of life, spirit of adventure and sweetness given to those close to him. Although he struggled with addiction, he wanted all of us to see the best of him, believe in him and know that he wished things could be different.

My Son was a beautiful soul,he loved animals,he always had a helping hand for those less fortunate,Bob was a happy carefree guy so respectful and kind.❤️

I am gonna miss everything about my son 💔his beautiful smile,and all the laughs he gave me over the 36 yrs he lived he was a beautiful free spirit.

Sammi was and always will be my Sunshine, my Rock, and my Dragonfly.
You are loved and deeply missed.
Soar high through the heavens my beautiful angel.

-Mama

She dances in sun soaked meadows.
Fingers tips touching so lightly the breath of angels.
She dances as the butterfly kisses the flower.
She is Samantha Rene

-Daddy

Samantha, words couldn't describe how much she meant to me, she was such a amazing sister and such a loving human being. I hope she knew how proud I was of her, and that her light was so bright it shined on others darkness especially mine, and now she is the light. She will always be shining so birght. Heaven gained the sweetest angel and I promise to keep her spirit alive. I know she is in a better place and I will miss her.

-Sabrina

Samantha Rene' Spencer

Born 3/4/95

Our sweet Samantha passed away 7/21/18. Sammi is survived by her loving parents, step parents, and sister.

Her bright eyes and sweet smile, her contagious laugh, and huge Sammi hugs. With her heart of gold and a soul as bright as the sun, Sammi gave all she could. Love, compassion, hope, and happiness to all. Sammi touched so many people's lives in the short time she had with us.

Toby loved all his friends.

Please remember him for his huge heart and his beautiful smile.

Mike was a charming individual with a big, bright smile and made friends wherever he went. He was funny, strong-willed and intelligent. He was generous with his warm hugs and loved being his parents' son, his sister's brother, and his nieces' uncle.

Any memory with Mike is a favorite, including the summers spent at the family cottage, watching sporting events and movies, enjoying a great meal, attending concerts, and having late nights with friends. The best memories are the little moments when we were all together enjoying each other's company. His happiest times involved being surrounded by family and friends. He cherished them above anything else.

We will miss his smile, his hugs, his sense of humor and his contagious laughter.

As an avid New England sports fan and movie lover; as a strong, brave, and caring individual who lived life to the fullest; and as the son, brother, nephew, uncle, and friend who was fiercely loved by everyone. He will be forever missed.

Ryan devoted his life to his family and those he loved. His genuine charm captivated the hearts of all those around him, including the hearts of complete strangers. Ryan was loved by many and his memory will forever live on. Rest in peace Ry Guy.

Michael was an amazing soul. He met friends wherever he went. He had an amazing smile and the best laugh. He was goofy and fun. I cherish my memories with him.

There’s too many great memories to choose a favorite. I love all the times Michael did my hair - even the time it turned orange by accident! I loved him pushing me in the shopping cart at target. I loved dressing up with him. I even loved when he poked fun at me.

I’m going to miss his big hugs and his laugh! I’m going to miss our adventures and just sitting around doing nothing together. I will miss him at my wedding (one day). I will miss the times we won’t get together on this earth.

I would like Michael to be remembered for the true person he was - not the addiction. I want people to remember his fun loving spirit, his laugh and his true likability.

Sara is a beautiful soul, friendly, loving, truly amazing with children they loved her and she them. Sara loved traveling and going on adventures. Sweet and definitely a people person. Would always stand up for the underdog!

Sara was born a leader and would offer often unsolicited advice to her basketball, swim and volleyball coaches. 😉

I miss everything about her

Sara would want to be remembered for her incredible empathy for people. Her hard battles with addiction and those she saved along the way. Many she met in rehabs credit her with helping them to get and stay clean with her positive nature

Abbey brought pure joy to her parents, grandparents, and brothers. She was beautiful, smart, caring, and funny.

There are so many favorite memories of Abbey, especially on family vacations all over the world. She was intrigued by people everywhere we went and always wanted to travel more!

I miss everything about her, but probably her infectious laugh is missed by all who knew her.

She would like to be remembered as a music lover, as an artist, as an animal lover, and as a vibrant member of her loving family.
