God gave another angel his wings last night. A very dear friend lost his nephew to this terrible disease of addiction. I have know this boy since he was a toddler, he was my nephews best friend, he is so broken hearted we all are. To many young people are dying, something has to be done to save our children, I just wish I knew what it was. Rest in peace Ryan you are free from the pain, fly high and watch over those who loved you.

How truly sad and heartbreaking. All I see and hear about is death by addiction. I see no end to this.

My heart hurts every time I hear this.

Saying prayers for all our families.

Bad, sad, mad. I am sick of addictions.
How do we get kids to listen to how deadly this is?
I would think by now, we would know some way.
So sorry for your loss.

My heart and soul go out to yet another family/friend, etc that have to journey down the horrible path of grieving the loss of a loved one. It is so sad, so wrong, so unnecessary and so heartbreaking. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
