I came across this obituary after reading an article about the overdose problem with our young people, and I was horrified to see that you lost 2 dear family members on the same day. I just want you to know that my heart bleeds for your entire family, and I am sending healing thoughts your way. As someone who has buried 3 siblings in the last 5 years, I know what kind of a toll and hole this creates in a family and in your hearts. From my family to yours, I wish you peace and love. I'm truly very sorry for your loss.

Hello this is Annie again. Could you please call me at 508 345 9754. The attorney general as office is interested in speaking with you. My son who does 10 months ago died from 100% fentanyl. This is an important issue. I hope that we can connect soon. Once again my heart literally bleeds for your pain. Sincerely Ann Avitabile.

My heart is so heavy for you. Such trauma to all of you. I lost my two sons 24 months apart and my husband 8 weeks prior to my youngest sons death. My Patrick passed 10 months ago with almost a year in recovery. 100% fentanyl killed him. Waiting for the autopsy will also be heart wrenching . This journey is a hard hard road. The platitudes will be many. Reach out to us that know. With deep deep sympathy. Ann Ahearn Avitabile.

Dear Woodbury Family,
I just read about your lost in the Patriot Ledger and my heart is broken for you all. My older brother who is also 4 years older than I lost his life to an overdose in 1994. After many relapses, we both went into treatment for heroin the same day back on 9/7/1988. Getting and staying clean was the hardest thing I have ever done. My bother Jim though kept trying and relapsing until his death. However, as sad as that was, I knew he found peace. I will keep Michael and Jonathan (I also have brothers with the same names that are fighting addiction today) in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless,
Randy
