Who we are
We are a family with an empty chair at every celebration, every holiday and every family dinner. We live knowing that we did what we did with what we knew at the time but we still live with the grief brought on by tragically losing our son, our brother to mental health and the toxic drug supply.
Aric and Madeleine
They had so much to offer the world but both lost their battles for mental health, leaving behind loving families, friends and a world that is now empty of their beautiful souls.
