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

She had a beautiful smile. I’ll remember her intelligence & sense of humor. Her compassion and love for her family and friends. Her passion for music. As a proficient writer, talented athlete & musician. Well-mannered and polite. Loved animals.

Lisa and I went on a vacation in 2017 to Asheville NC during our favorite season, autumn. We drove down the Blue Ridge Parkway to enjoy the foliage, and spent a wonderful week exploring western NC. I will always cherish the memories from that week.

Where to start? Her kind heart & sense of humor are at the top of the list. Listening to her play the guitar & sing - wish I did more of that. Just talking to her, hearing her voice, her laugh.

As a musician, an athlete & a friend. Lisa loved being a drummer in a band. She was also actively involved in sports before addiction took over her life. And she was an exceptional, caring friend.

Always brought a smile to everyone around him

Made the best of any situation as well as he could - his wit & writing were amazing & he loved hard

His crazy sense of humor- we definitely share that as a family

Lover of life ❤️

He was an amazing person with a huge heart. He adored his daughter and never wanted to leave her. He could always brighten a room and put smiles on everyone's face.

She was absolutely amazing, she had such a big heart! She was always trying to help others and she loved her kids so much!! She isn't blood but she's my sister!

There's no way I can pick just one! Laughing with her was always the best!

EVERYTHING!!!

She was an amazing mom and she loved with all her heart!!

He was my true love. We could communicate by our eyes! Very pertective! Beautiful

The love for his children and his niece and nephew and me!

I loved hearing him laugh and hug me! I felt safe!

Fun, loving and always funny

Jenni was my little sister but we had an extremely strong bond and she was also my best friend. We fought, we laughed, we loved and we went through so much together. She was the funniest person I have ever known.

There are too many memories to pick just one. She was always making funny faces, making jokes, and had thousands of voices and impressions. She loved horror movies more than any other person in the world and should have gone on to do horror makeup for television/movies, she was so talented at it!

Literally everything. But the thing I will miss the most is her sense of humor. She could turn any situation funny and make anyone laugh at the drop of a hat. She was my best friend and I miss being able to confide in her. I am sad that she didn't get to know her nieces and nephew and see how similar they are to her.

Beautiful, strong, funny and horribly missed! The world is a little darker without her here.

I miss your infectious laughter and the smile that would light up the room

He was a good kid.

Everything

He was smart, handsome and hard working. His kindness was felt by many.

Fishing...his favorite past time.

His love, his caring and his laugh.

A good friend and a man with great love for his family

Always the life of every room.. loved her son more than anything. She was my best friend and the only one who truly understood me.. we tried to fight the battle together.. I continue to fight daily without her but with her pushing me.. I win daily

Her voice

Donnie was smart, quick witted and dedicated to his friends and family. He loved all sports and cooking.

His smile and dedication to his family

Ryan was an old soul who cared deeply about those he loved.

His sense of humor and love of music

Sitting and talking

Freddie was just a beautiful person whose life was destroyed by addiction. He fault he battle the best he could. He was funny, sweet, caring & loved his whole family!! We miss & love him so much! Always in our hearts

So hard to pick just one! He was just so funny and awesome with his little cousins who are not so little now. He would wrestle and play baseball with them and he was just a big kid at heart. He loved spending time with his pop pop and watching the Phillies with him!! They are now together in heaven-Always watching over us! We miss you and love you so much Ready
Freddie.. as Pop called him

Everything!!!! His smile, laugh and just pure goofiness just brightened up your day and we all lost a big part of ourselves when he left us.

As a wonderful, sweet, caring goofy son, brother, father, grandson, nephew and cousin!! He loved baseball and could have been in the majors!!!

Stephen was very charismatic, he had a way of making people feel good about themselves and very comfortable with him even when first meeting someone.

The joy on his face as he played soccer.

The many conversations about any topic, but especially music

As a great friend.

Sara was an excellent child. Smart and articulate. Her troubles began at puberty. She had been abandoned by her father at age 5. She suffered mentally and physically both. She had 3 college degrees and loved working with children.

I can see Sara being in control of the world around her. High functioning with a strong passion for things.

Touching her and feeling her soft skin and curly hair.

As a rebel....

Bright, intelligent, loving and spirited human being who was the first to befriend anyone in need. He was a bright light and had a generous heart. He had a sharp wit and sense of humor and loved his family fiercely ❤️

He was a stand up step dad, funny caring nice, patient, There when needed most, helped me save my mom's life.
and playful. Best Brother and best husband.

When he would take us to the beach, and Pokemon walks. always was firm with the boys yet soft voiced never yelled at them.

Being under his wing was the safest place in the world

By knowing he was the best father and husband ever.
