Amanda was the type that if you hated her, you still loved being around her. She got her college degree and was living in a 3 bedroom house and took care of her grandpa and her second cousin. She was an amazing. Loved music and family

I was the man she loved and the man that loved her. I had to leave cause she started using. A year latter she lost her fight. She was the woman of my dreams and I cherish all the memories. She will always be with me and a part of my life. I can’t pass anything or watch anything without thinking of her. It shattered my life, her family’s life and many loved ones. She is missed

Eddie lost his 5 year battle with addiction at 27 years old.

His smile, caring personality and his love for cars and animals.

I want Eddie to be remembered for the smart, caring man he was before the demon of addiction took over.

Teaching school

Sense of humor

Austin passed from a drug induced Homicide on June 20, 2023. He was a very bright spontaneous individual. He never failed to lighten up any room he walked into. Made friends everywhere he went. And was the most caring and loving soul taken way too soon.

There’s not just One memory that’s my favorite. They’re ALL my favorite. But if I had to choose one. It would be the time he held his nephew Cashton(mine and his brothers son) for the first time around Christmas. Cashton was a premie baby, tiny little bundle of joy who Austin was very timid to hold that early on. Watching Austin hold his nephew, interacting and feeding him once he got to be almost a year old will forever be something we all miss.

Austin will be missed by His quirky smile and his loud obnoxious but contagious Laugh.

Austin would like to be remembered by how caring and loving he was, especially too his Mom Tracy.. He was always adventurous in all natures of life. And He was definitely the life of the party and never failed to leave an impression on those he came across.

Lamont will be missed.

Worlds best dad!! Very caring and had a heart of gold!

Times we spent with his kids at the river

His laugh! His smile, his sense of humor

That he loved his children with his whole being

My beautiful daughter, Ciara, lost her battle with addiction at the age of 30. She fought for 5 years and left behind 4 children, family and friends who all loved her so very much.

My favorite memory of Ciara is when she would break out singing like she was on stage.

Her loving heart that would do anything for anyone. And her beautiful smile.

As someone who would give their last to make someone else happy.

Blake was loving, kind, smart, and had an amazing winning personality. I loved his laugh and his smile. To know him was to love him when he was not using drugs.

The last Saturday I spent with him. He looked so healthy and sounded so good.

His love for me

As a respectful member of society who loved his family dearly

She was the sweetest girl from the day she was born. She brought light to everyone that knew her. Her girls lit up her life even when it was the darkest. Amanda's smile could light up any room, she was loved by anyone who truly knew her.

Seeing her grow up, her becoming a mother, her strength and resolve to get clean. Before she finally lost her battle, she was clean for 2+ months. Seeing the girl I knew again was a breath of fresh air.

Everything about her. Her personality, her charm, attitude and sarcasm. Her beauty on the outside was nothing compared to what was on the inside. Seeing her smile and laugh like no one else.

For the beautiful and sweet girl she always was. She brought light to everyone, including her children.

So lovable, preshous beautiful. I loved her unconditional she was with me every step.i miss her.

My favorite time with my Tara is every day I woke up near her,but my most favorite day was when we both concord our fear of roller-coaster rides at coney Island park.

I will miss her just always being with me no matter how upset I made her.

Being so strong and intelligent, beautiful and very generous.

He was very kind, caring; he would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need, he had an amazing sense of humor, did silly things, and most importantly he was an awesome dad, to his daughter, Bella.

Watching him give our daughter a bath, feeding her, you could see the love he had for her in his eyes.

His sense of humor, he always made he laugh, he was like a class clown,and how caring he was.

A kind, gentle soul, funny; life of the party, an amazing dad.

He was protective, my bestfriend, were just alike in so many ways. He loved God and loved people and was starting his journey to draw close to God when this happened

I have no favorite memory of my brother. Whether we were fighting like all siblings growing up or bonding as adults all memories of him are worth more than gold to me now

His smile, him getting on my nerves, lol

That he loved God and was looking for his purpose in life

Daniel was an aspiring artist, creative, loving, giving. He was a beautiful baby boy very strong in character as a child. He loved his grandparents and he loves his Mother Shirley Donohue. Myself his father Paul, he was my side kick and never judged.

Our times we spent at Pier 39 as a child, he loved that place. It was our happy spot. I loved when he would help his mom at her work with deliveries he would make sure I dropped him off in time so he could help her with her Post Office drops.

His laughter, his smile , his comical moments, he was great at impressions. He was a good conversationalist. For sure he could talk.

Loving , Caring & Humble

He loved animals and kids he would have been a great dad he always wanted a family but it didn't happen he would help anyone and had the kindness heart

Anything we did together he was such a blessing to me we were so close was always giving mama flowers and was my mechanic and always went to church with me

His love and bear hugs and his laughter when he was happy

That he tried so hard to beat the addiction so many times had a lot of struggles in his young life his father committed suicide when Chase was 17 he was in the next room and found him my baby was never right after that but still so loving and kind

Lori was my beautiful daughter who loved to laugh, have adventures and who fiercely loved her family and friends. She gave us a wonderful son who is very much like her. She lives on through her wonderful son.

My favorite memory of Lori was as a child she would love to have her friends over constantly. Our home was pool party central. She was the happiest at these times. She would jump in the pool and she was so light that the top of her head would remain dry. Her laughter bought you a smile. She was beautiful inside and out.

I miss hearing her laugh. I miss the way we would connect in so many ways. I miss seeing her play with her son who she absolutely adored more than anything. I miss hearing her call me, Mom.

Lori should be remembered for how much she adored her son, was so very proud of him, her loyalty to her friends and for how much she enjoyed visiting family and eating delicious foods together.

Benjamin was very bright. He loved music and could write a song in minutes! He sang, played piano and guitar.

How he had to learn guitar upsidedown because he was left handed.
His determination and spiritual wisdom.

His laugh, silly jokes. His hugs. His beautiful blue eyes.
How he always remembered mother's day but most of all our "God talks".

As helpful, giving, loving and sacrificial.
For his music. How he could make people happy.

Dean was always energetic and intelligent. He would often defy gravity on a surfboard, skateboard, or while playing hockey. He loved football and accomplished varsity in his freshman year. He was a friend to almost anyone he came across, everyone seemed to love him. He had a gleeming smile.

His hugs, kisses and at his last dinner sharing his appreciation for everything.

Everything
