In Rememberance

In Remembrance
REMEMBER: PREVENT: 
END THE STIGMA

What you see here are beautiful souls 

lost to overdose.

They left behind families and countless friends.

This is just a very small fraction of those lost to substance use disorder.

G.W. was 28 1/2 years old and my middle child. He was such a loving, considerate and funny son, brother and friend.   G. W. was interested in working with I.

We miss him immensely!
