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

Christy was my first born , she taught me how to be a Mama . She struggled with addiction early on in her life . She was a Mother of three, had three siblings a beautiful smile and loving heart.

My favorite memory would be holding her first born LeighAnna a three month old little girl while watching her Mama walk across stage and collect her High School Diploma.

I miss her smile , she had a beautiful smile (after years of braces lol) And beautiful eyes that were blue but would change to hazel like color

I feel like she gave her life to save mine . I was a addict at that time also . I think she would want to save people , stop the stigma

Full of craziness, loved all holidays, dimples with beautiful blue eyes, loved bonfires, loved to fish

So many memories...the day he dragged home a beat up Carolina Skiff behind his bike to fix to go fishing..couple months he went fishing in it.

EVERYTHING..

Devon was always very loyal to his family and his friends. He was everyone’s protector. He loved with his whole heart. We were so close and he would talk to me about everything and anything, or so I thought. He is missed and loved so very much.

I cherish all of my memories with Devon, all 29 years of them, even the bad ones. However, my all time favorite would have to be watching him with his son James. He was an unexpected and pleasant surprise and he stepped up from day one. I was so proud of Devon for that. Watching the two together always melted my heart. The love they had for each other really was very apparent.

What I will miss most about Devon are his hugs and pecks on the cheek. Hearing his voice, telling me he loves me. I will miss him asking me for rides to work, buying him cigarettes, us giving each other advice. He could debate like no other and I’ll miss that too! Most of all I will miss his interactions with his son and him being there for him. It makes me sad knowing James has to grow up without his Father!!

I would like Devon to be remembered as the kind soul that he was. That he never met a stranger. The love he had for everyone he knew and that the love was returned. He was smart, witty, handsome, and was a great cook. He will forever be loved and missed.

Michael was so friendly and lovable that everyone liked him. He tried so hard and took it really hard when he failed. He was just so funny and lovable.

When I was in the hospital and he and his son came to see me and he posted a picture of me on Facebook and said “My Mom after her millionth surgery.”

His teasing, how much he loved me and for being a son he had no problem expressing his love for me.

As being fun, friendly, a good basketball player, and he loved his family.

Very good friend and mother

My 29th birthday in Hudson court

He was a real nice sweet hearted person that me and my whole family loved . When nowhere was there when I needed them he was , always the person I run too when I needed help or advice . Also he was funny too lol I loved that about my uncle.

We had went to the pond to sit there and feed the ducks , and so we was walking and one of the ducks was coming up to her too fast he was like oh hell Nawl that damn duck need back it’s ass up lol .

He sweetheart and he goofiness

He would like to be remember as a loyal and respected person .

Fought his demons with everything he had...
He had a heart of gold that now lives on in the recipient of his beautiful heart!
Loved by all who knew him. He cared so much for, and would give anything he had to the less fortunate.
So very missed, and so very loved! Heaven has an amazing (and strong) angel!!

Derby is my youngest son (middle child), he was a hard worker (roofer), a wonderful dad, and a loving son. He became clean the last few months of his life and attended church with his grandfather. He enjoyed fishing but most of all, he enjoyed life.

Every single day he was in my presence is a favorite memory.

I miss his texts, "Good morning momma. I hope you have a good day". Then throughout the day, "Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you and I love you momma" Then at nights, "Good night momma. Sweet dreams, I love you", I miss hugging him. I miss seeing those baby blue eyes. I miss his voice. I miss his laughter. I just miss my baby boy,

Amazing personality very funny

We will miss that frank always made us laugh and frank always love to be around his family and friends.

Frank would love to be remembered by his love and his presents he shared wirh all of you.

My son was such a beautiful soul. He loved us so much. His sisters were his world. He lived through music and loved dancing around like no one is watching. He had an infectious smile and laugh. He was loved by so many people.

I have so many favorite memories of Chad. His sister and him would have dance parties all the time. They would dress him up like a girl and put makeup on him. He was my side kick growing up. I was a young single mother and it was just he and I for his younger years.

I miss hugging him, seeing his beautiful face and hearing his voice. I miss the bond he had with his sisters. How he would FaceTime with them all. I miss his text messages and phone calls. I wished we had much more time together.

I’d love to have him be remembered for his compassion, gentle, caring and giving heart. He was an amazing soul and he shall be remembered as such. He was and is still very much loved and missed.

Tash David was a lover of all things. Animals people babies. He had a heart of gold. If you had ever spent more than 3 mins with him you had a bff forever. He was loyal positive and just the most amazing thing ever

When we sat in my vehicle for my bday ate a whole carrot cake and sang inspirational songs at the top of our lungs. It's was just him and I and it was the best birthday I will ever have

Absolutely everything.
His video calls, text daily
His Hugs they where magical

As beautiful. As someone that made a difference. As unforgettable

He was the sweetest, most patient person I have ever met. He was always the mediator. He was bubbly, bouncy, happy. Made the worst jokes but you couldn’t help but laugh. He was a bright light in a world of darkness. He was my universe. My Soulmate.

We were standing in our room and he stood up and made me slow dance with him even though there was no music. He was twirling me around and pulling me back. He hugged me tight and kissed me. He told me he loved me. And we just danced for a good ten minutes. I told him how much I loved him.

His smile, his laugh. The gleam in his eyes when he would get happy and giddy over something small. How he would surprise me with small things. How he would tell me that a place didn’t have the thing I wanted then show up and have something behind his back and pull it out and it would be the thing I asked for. How he would open up his arms while we were in bed and have me come lie on his chest. How he would change the energy in a room as soon as he came in, and everyone would suddenly be happier

He would like to be remembered as a husband to a wife that loved him. A car enthusiast, someone who had huge dreams and hope. Patient and always finding a way to help the people around him. A son to a wonderful mother, a brother to two amazing sisters. Someone who seized every moment he could. Who was spontaneous and took chances. Who loved with every fiber of his being and gave his absolute all to everyone he knew no matter what. He would want to be remembered as the beautiful person he was
