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

My daughter Tara was a kind, loving woman. She loved helping other's. She was a awesome Mom. Loved her brother and sister. She loved animals. She will be missed forever. She was so much more then her addiction.

The was she laughed and joked around. And the time she was 8 years old and found a magazine and ordered 4 duck's in the mail. We kept them for 4 weeks. Lol not for a house in the city. So we found a nice farm with a pond and they lived happily ever after. She was such a fun sweet girl.

Her laughter. Her smile. The was she made every holiday special for me and her daughter.

For her kindness. Her fun loving spirit. She was so much fun.

Eric was a self taught musician. He started off playing the drums, but taught himself to play guitar at a young age. He became lead guitarist in local band HangOver and previously Vent. He was so talented and had a photographic memory.

Dancing with my brother at my wedding to Guns N Roses November Rain.

His jokes, his personality, his love for music, horror movies, kids and playing his guitar. His love for animals

By being a self taught guitarist and having a big heart

A caring little ball of fire. She loved fiercely and was always trying to make you smile. She was everyone’s cheerleader.

Memories are so hard to choose. I loved when we were little kids and she would always take care of me. As we got older she taught me to sing and she would always tell me to sing with my gut. She was my big sister. One of my best friends and biggest critic.

I miss hearing her voice. Listening to her tell me that she loves me bigger than the sky, just like our mother did. I miss watching and hearing the way she would talk to her daughter and seeing her growing into the mother she wanted to be. She loved being a mom.

Remember her for her caring soul, her love for anyone she came in contact with. She was such a people person and wanted to fix so much for everyone. Remember her for the love she had for her sweet baby girl. Being her mother was her favorite title. Also, her passion for cheer. She may have stopped cheering back in high school. But she was still everyone’s cheerleader.

Loved working on cars and spending time with the grandkids. Always had a smile. If you were sad he'd make you smile with his silliness. Very loving , caring , and generous to everyone he meet.

Watching him hold our first born grandson when he was in NICU

Having to watch the grandkids grow up without him.

His love and compassion for everyone. If someone needed help he'd always lend a hand if he could. Never asking anything in return.
Also the unconditional love he showed our children and grandchildren.

Dean was one of a kind. He always put a smile on your face and had you laughing. He was clever in the most extraordinary way. He was the first one to look out for someone and stand up for them. He loved his family and always made you feel protected.

I cherish every moment I had with Dean. His absence now is ever present. You always knew Dean was there. He had the ability to light up a room. In any given day I relive things we did, conversations we had, and places we went. Sometimes just the normal everday things are the best memories. I will always carry them in my heart.

I miss everything about Dean, the good and the bad. He was my son, my first born. He is irreplacable. I miss him every moment of every day. I love him unconditionally and always have.

I think Dean would like to be remembered by how he lived life and how he made you feel. He was fearless and fun. He worked hard. He played hard. He made sure you knew he loved you.

He was always happy and oh how he loved the Lord. He had 3 brothers,1 sister and a son who will never be tge same. He had a laugh that would makes us all crack up. He cared for the broken and was always giving to the ones less fortunate.

When he had his son and to see the love in his eyes for his baby boy.

Everything but mostly hearing him come thru the door say Momma Dukes.

Mike wanted to be remembered for his love of family and God

He lived life on his own terms and didn’t care what anybody thought. His exterior was so rugged and at the same time he was super sensitive. And so funny. He could laugh at himself as he made us laugh. He is missed every day.

I just remember the laughter we shared; his daughter, him and me. He could be so much fun

The 3 of us watching our favorite movies. He loved comedies and could do interpretations really well

He would want to be remembered as a good son, great father and really good friend.

Daniel was always so kind hearted! He loved his baby girl & his mama !

He was a beautiful little boy who grew into a handsome young man ! He loved his family!!

His hugs & his beautiful smile

He was a kind hearted person who just made some terrible choices.

Beautiful, Loving Angel that fought so hard to begin her life. Born early at 28 weeks 2 lbs 10 1/2 oz 15 inches long. She fought so hard and was a loving Momma of 2 daughters and 1 son. She was my Angel on earth and now an Angel in heaven.

Holding her babies for the first time.

Everything . My heart will never be ever be whole again.

She loved hard and fought even harder.

Outgoing, lovable, funny.

Seeing them at his future grand daughters gender reveal.

Phone calls and texts, Facebook posts and sense of humor.

Through his kids and nonjudgmental heart.

She was an amazing young woman.
Unique in many ways.

Her laugh. Her love of her family, especially her daughter.

EVERYTHING

For being who she really was.

He was the most hard-working selfless man I ever met. He would give up his shirt off his back to someone who needed it. He loved his two daughters more than anything in the world. When I looked into his blue eyes it was like looking into the sky

I was having a bad day at work and he showed up with a whole bouquet of balloons and a teddy bear that said I love you just because there’s nothing that he wanted more than to see me smiling

There’s so many things that I miss about him but what I miss the most is coming home every day to him wanting to know how my day was and how he can make it better if it was bad

Kim was a shining star in a dim world. Loving,caring, and a beautiful young woman.

There are so many the ones I love the most is time spent together as family.

Her kindness.

She was my mom. She was also my best friend. She had the personality and humor unlike anyone I’ve ever known. She’s truly missed everyday.

My favorite memory of her is staying with her on the weekends when I was in grade school.

I will miss having my mom around, someone I felt truly comfortable talking with. I will miss her making me laugh so easily.

Jami was my best friend. She had the heart of gold and could make your day brighter just by smiling.

Cleaning out a house I bought. It was just us 2 with our dogs talking and goofing around for hours.

I will miss her listening to me ramble on about everything.

If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
