    So very sad....finally my Uncle and Aunt received news from the coroner regarding my cousin Jonny. Turns out, the daft boy took methadone, slipped into a coma and died of respiritary failure. GGRR. Angry, disappointed, sad, emotions going wild. We only found out this afternoon, and we had already planned to visit the family and then go to the cemetary to say hello to Jonny, so I guess we will find out more info then. Drugs! What a waste, what a tragic waste of a young life, a pointless loss. :(

    I couldn'rt agree more EJ.
    So many young people have lost their lives to drugs. I wish there was a way to stop this happening altogether before more lives are wasted.
    I just hope that Jonny's death may have an inpact on his peers and make them think twice before indulging in any sort of 'recreational' drug use themselves.

    So sorry for your loss! My older Sister did this same type of thing. Took so much Valium it turned her brain to mush. Never got to see her new new and only grandson and grand daughter. Her only son died 2 years ago in a suspicious crash in to the sevier river and drown. Such a wast of life. Give them hugs for me. My heart is hurting for there loss.
