More Than Their Addiction. Honoring Their Lives. In this moving video, three courageous mothers hold photos of their children, two sons and a daughter, lives lost too soon to overdose. With love and courage, they remind us: “They were more than that.”

​

· Sarah Smith, remembered by her mother Debbie Devito

· Vincent D’Antoni, remembered by his mother Sharon Richmond

· Mark Bergbuchler remembered by his mother Patti Bergbuchler

 

These mothers are not only honoring their children’s memories, but they are also breaking stigma, raising awareness, and inspiring hope through the positive work they do in our community. Their grief has become purposeful, their voices a call for compassion and understanding.

 

We stand with them, fully supporting their courage and commitment to creating change. Together, we are lifting their voices, honoring their loved ones, and building a community where compassion replaces stigma. Behind every statistic is a child, a family, and a story that matters.
