I want to thank the writer of this beautiful obituary. I myself am an addict 8 1/2 years clean who spiraled so fast in the final years that I did not believe I would see my 30th birthday nor did I care. She was a friend of a friend, but I lost many of my own friends while in recovery and I find it so hard and sad when families hide the addiction even after death like it was a dark secret not a devastating illness. Ive only seen 2 others like this and it is beautiful and heartwarming to see a family wanting to bring about awareness. Thank you so much for honoring her memory this way
