Dear Doug ( Father ) I have not seen you in years however remember our hanging out fondly. I am so so sorry to hear of the loss of your Son. I hate it for you. The loss of a Child is the worst pay ever. There is nothing that can be done or said that will help with the pain.... but after a very long time it will get a little easier. God keep you in your family wrapped in Love at this time?

I did not know you Doug but I know your Dad. I am so sorry for your family's loss. Drugs were a big part of my son's life for over 16 years. I was very lucky that when I was having a breakdown he finally found something deep down to give him the strength to quit. Clean for 2 years does not mean he could not end up on it again. I am so sorry you lost your battle. God will take you into his arms and you will be wonderful and watch over your son and family and they will be with you again someday.
