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

Loved his Bible, Turtles, his Brother and his family and"Mommy". Also his extended family. Loved to make people laugh. Served in the Army. Was in combat in Afghanistan.

His smile, voice, love and hugs!

His knowledge and Spiritualness

He was troubled and he could be trouble, but when he smiled at you, you could never stay angry. Even when he was little, the quickness of his mind would take my breath away.

From the time he was born till he was about 12, Mikie was attached to me by the hip. When he was little he’d be in my lap all the time, turning my face so my attention was only on him. When he got older, he would still sit in my lap, or just lean on me.

He’s my son, my youngest, my baby. I miss everything about him.

With love.

My son was my heart my soul. Sweet caring loving always wanted to help others than himself

His laughter his goofy ness

Everything

A good friend (sweetness)

Rick was a compassionate, charming, quick-witted young man. He had a beautiful smile and was known to be friendly to all.

Aj would light up a room with his beautiful smile and he was very charismatic! He could become friends with anyone and was always loving and compassionate with a beautiful heart and soul.

I have so many wonderful memories of my beautiful son in his short life. I will forever cherish our time together especially the time we shared together just before he passed away.

His beautiful smile and his teddy bear hugs and his voice saying I love you mama.

I want Aj to be remembered for the kind and gentle man he was and for all those lives he touched along the way. He will be forever missed by his family and friends. He will always be loved and remembered and we will forever have a hole in our hearts.
Aj if our love could have saved you, you would have loved FOREVER!

My son would do ANYTHING for family. God first, family second was his motto. He had a knack for dealing with children. Never saw anyone better with kids! So many ceilings have toddler footprints in them from him helping them walk on the ceiling!

Luke had such a giving nature. He would do absolutely anything for family. He always gave me a great big hug and covid be damned! He always said I was his hero, but now he is my angel. I was his backbone, but he was my strength. I had to be strong for him. I loved his faith and his love of family.

Luke would want to be remembered for doing anything for family and how much he loved us.

Char was loving, giving, funny beyond She loved her children with all she had and protected them from the addiction that took her from what she loved most , we miss her so much.

So many memories she was such a dare devil and never will forget her talking her dad into a helicopter ride at the shore (without me knowing ) and her father pointing up at the sky while flying over us she was hanging out the window yelling Hi mom 😂

The laughter , her Constance presence in our world ,her not being here for her children's sports, graduations, first time driving...etc.

I will miss his sense of humor and his laughter

He was a Wild Child...always pushed everything to the limit...including my parental buttons..He was very strong and could always make me believe him...I believed in Him Always..

Watching Him with His children...seeing Him playing and enjoy acting like the Big Child He was..

Miss His Smile and that Sparkle in His eyes...

As Loving Life but never reaching for His true Goals...He pushed so hard but got kicked to many times, that He gave up so much.

Clint was a loving son. He proudly told everyone he was Mom's boy. He loved children. He tried so hard to beat his demons. He had done it but I still lost him to suicide

Clint calling me up and saying Hey Mom what's up. There are too many wonderful memories to talk about here. My heart is broken forever

His smile, his hug, his laugh. His generous heart

Clint was a humble. He would love it if people would say I know him and he was my friend. I loved him

He could make you laugh, he loved his boys.

I have too many.

Him just not being here with me.

Fun, loving, always made people laugh and he loved too cook.

Beautiful inside and out

All the times we could laugh together, she just got me and had a great sense of humor

My best friend spending mornings with her conversation and coffee

Always striving to do better, always kind and always humble

Her laughter and smile

Her kind hearted soul

He had a smile that would light up the room. And a wonderful sense of humor and a great laugh. He loved his family with all his heart. Just wish he could have loved himself.

Screaming like a girl whenever he saw a spider! He swore they had fangs!! Hilarious!!!

His hugs. He gave the BEST hugs.

He would like people to remember him as this big tough guy. But EVERYONE knew he was a big ole softie
