I dont update it much but sometimes I add to the pages more.. like I did this one recently. Anyways, I can imagine what Layne and his girl were going through when people you thought were your friends are either with you or against you and the others are there because your famous and providing whatever you need. You could say that I believe in alternative medicine, have you heard about the raw vegan/ vegan movement? *, I will pray for you and your family, God bless you Susan. I breed dogs, I work in tech support and Im a web designer.. not in a MILLION years would anyone have guessed that about me. Comfotably numb. I decided to do a Google search on Demri and I actually found this page which is dedicated to her and Layne it has some poor quality copies of pictures that I actually posted of her like 5 years ago.. It's pretty obvious the person who wrote it didn't know her which became more . Its a tribute vid, and at 5:45 (and I mean exactly easy to miss!) But like Demri i have a death sentence hanging over my head because my heart could fail at any time. Addicts in your life should never be seen as selfish assholes.. most are actually just broken and sad and while they may come off as being selfish because they wont get clean for you most are just not equipped to know HOW to get clean or are too scared to try.

Youve done a great job with this site, having your own life & kids, that I thank you.

Layne and Demri were certainly worth knowing and there is so little about them out there. Thats what all 4 of my friends whose lifes are over would tell you all who are hear reading this. I believe that when he lost her he probably felt like it should have been him and that the only hope to be happy was gone and like I explained before he probably just gave up trying to quit and just decided to let it consume him. Xana. Blessings to each of you! Adalsteinn, thank you so much for your kind comment so many years ago Later into the night i got worse and my organs started shutting down. I also thing its amazing how they found such amazing friends along the way who stuck with them during the hardest times! For the first time in 10 yrs im doing good! 2 of Kathleens patients told her about this weird thing that happened (he had done the same thing). The truth about the ways she lied, cheated, manipulated and stole from him have all been conveniently forgotten.".
