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

Juan was the love of my life. My best friend. My soul mate. He had a smile to light up the room and a laugh to die for. He was truly a beautiful soul. He hold our child with him in heaven. Hes the best man I've ever known.

His laugh.

His arms wrapped around me.

For his beautiful spirt.

Kind, loving, smart, funny, generous and happy go lucky. Sparkling blue eyes that always made me smile.

Laughing as kids and walking in the rain.

I miss everything. I miss my best friend.

A loving, caring man.

Good man who loved family

Bobber was one of the kindest and most loving kids. He was compassionate and took care of the homeless animals in his hometown. He had the best laugh and was a known practical joker. Everyone who ever met him just loved him. His smile lit up a room.

Bobber and my son Gary playing practical jokes on their grandmother. She adored her boys!

His smile and his laugh

A beautiful young man with a beautiful heart ❤️

Her smile could light up a room. She was full of life, spontaneous and fun to be around. She was happiest when she was at the beach and with her son whom she adored. She loved family and spending holidays with them. Always wanted to help people

When she was little she would act out Disney movies. Pocahontas and Lion King. She was a character and was on spot with her animated moves and voice. As she got older she shifted to music dancing and animated hand moves-even while in a car. She was just a fun, amazing person

We were friends as well as mother/daughter. I miss calling her on the phone and talking, spending the day shopping and having lunch. Watching her with her son, you could see the love in their eyes as they played or danced. I will her laugh and smile-her kooky ways and spontaneity. Absolutely everything💔

As being herself, living life to its fullest and being Ryders mom. He was her greatest adventure and she loved everyday with him.

He was a special soul. One who felt too much of the worlds ugliness and still tried to make it Beautiful. He loved with all his heart yet never felt Worthy to receive it. A magical mind hopefully at peace now.

Baseball was his favorite thing in school. Fishing hunting just being in nature seemed to soothe his restlessness.

I will miss his laugh his smile his brilliant mind. His love for his family especially the littles. He loved his animals more sometimes than humans.

I want him to be remembered as a goofy fun loving son he was. His love of Star wars and the love of space and nature.

She was my Ryde Or Die. She was a very loyal, very caring and full of love. She was a true friend til the end. Always had my back as I had hers. No one in the world could compare to her. She was a great mom always made sure her family had.

My favorite memory i have of her is, us at the 1010 bar that used to be on state st. We played pool had a few drinks had some laughs. All out had a good time. We were us we were stress free. Played some pool as a team won us free drinks. Thats the best memory I have.

I miss the most is hearing her yell my nickname TUTI in her lil midget voice.

Hood but, loving and caring. She would want us to remember how she always made us laugh. She would want us to remember her good times and bad. She was a fighter, she fought hard for what she wanted in life.

Beautiful beyond words,caring and kind

Her laughter,her smile,her sense of style and carefree attitude but mostly the bond we shared,she wasn't only my daughter but my best friend

He was stubborn but I loved him with all my heart. He was kind, and empathic, and caring. He loved his kids more than anything

Toss up between the Pennsylvania 500 and the night he rescued me in the flood of 2006. Or just falling asleep on him. Too many to list

EVERYTHING!! I miss EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM EVERYDAY!!!

He was such a living man, when he loved he loved with every cell of his body. He was such a hard worker and loved his trade of being a mason even though he was one of the valedictorians of his class. He was the one who taught me what true love was.

He was such a prankster so it’s hard. I have so many great memories of my son.

The way he always made me laugh no matter what. And how he told everyone what a big mommas boy he was. He was the one who never said a ill word to me. Or disrespected me as a parent.

Knowing Daniel he would want to be remembered as a sexy beast! Lol yes he was handsome and he knew it.

Lissy will be greatly missed. She was so smart and had such a good heart. My family is forever broken. We will never be the same.

When Lissy was 2 years old she had chicken pox. She was so excited she had “polka dots “!!
We just planned her baby shower in January 2020. We spent hours planning and shopping online. She passed away 4 months later.

Lissy and I had babies 3 months and 3 days apart. We were up all hours of the night with newborns. We would wait for each other’s messenger light to show active and message each other. We talked for hours. I will miss those message. I would give anything to see her light light up one more time.

Lissy wanted to help people like herself battling addiction. She wanted others to get better. She left behind a new baby. She loved him so so much.

Always helping someone else

Watching him play Tball

His hugs, and jokes

Womens man

Mark was the youngest brother of 3 boys. He was one of the funniest people I knew, sometimes not even intentionally which made him unpredictably hilarious. He wore his heart on his sleeve and loved his family more than anything.

Too many amazing memories to name just one

I'll mostly miss Mark's smile, laugh, and infamous "YEEEEEEE!"

Mark was notorious for putting those close to him before himself.

Brittany was my little sister. She was my partner in crime and my best friend. She was always able to make you laugh. No matter what time of the day it was or how bad your day was. She was the best friend anyone could ask for.

Our trip to Florida, the first time she ever saw the ocean.

Brittany’s ability to love. When she loved you, it was unlike any love you’d ever feel.

Brittany wanted to be remembered as the life of the party. Her laughter was contagious. Her ability to make just about anyone laugh was incredible.

He loved his family especially his kids. We all miss him so much. (Especially his neices & nephews)

My most memorable moment is a road trip we took about 6 months before he passed away. 💔

Kevin was a artistic and Musical soul. He was a goofball. He was very sensitive for this would. He was Smart and had achieved a great amount in his short time on earth.

I loved watching his love for his dog Max, he was a rescue and they needed eachother so much. His love of the outdoors and of course that smile of his.

His smile. His Kind eyes. His adventures.

He wouldnt want to be remembered for his demise and struggles, but for his drive and kindness to his friends and family. His goofiness could put a smile on anyones face.

She was the baby sister of the family. She was kind, caring, gullible, hilarious, and beautiful. She loved her babies so much. She would literally give you the shirt off her back.

There's so many. When we'd harass our Mom. Harass each other. She was so gullible. One time she asked how she would know that the noodles for macaroni were done. We told her to smell them, she did and asked "what do they smell like?".. all the cookouts. Camping when we were kids. Sneaking food out of the kitchen during holidays. Her teaching her kids to call me Aunt Tuna- in public. The way she loved all of her nieces and nephews. Her protectiveness of our family. The fun rivalry.

Her humor. Her smile. Her brattiness. Her voice. Her love. The way she'd say "Hey, what're you doin?". The chance to see her break those damn chains and get better. The chance to see her be the great Mommy we knew she was. Every single thing about her.

As someone who cared more about others than she did about herself. That she was brave. That she had a beautiful soul. That she loved her kids with all of her heart. That her addiction didn't define the woman she actually was.
