Nancy, I've thought about you, Bobby and Allyson (I didn't know about Ashley) quite often and wondered how to get in touch with you. I'm so very sorry to hear about Allyson. I remember when she was born. This website is a beautiful tribute to her. Reading what you wrote about her addiction is very scary. We always want to believe the best of our children. You talk to them constantly, but do they listen? I'm going to have my daughter read this. You are in our prayers, and may God keep watch over you.

I send to you my angel, the one who helped me through my daughter's addiction. My heart goes out to you. For ten years we fought the battle and the devil nearly won. My daughter (now 23) hit her bottom the very day she left a four month stint in rehab. Her addiction nearly stole her from us. We were one of the very lucky who by the grace of god were able to get her back. There was only a breath between her and death but my faith that my angel would find her in her darkness and bring her back won out that day. I wrote a book about surviving that 10 years. It's about hope, faith, and being strong enough to hold on to knot at the end of the rope. "Dancing With The Devil" by Jacqueline Brown is available at Amazon.com. It may inspire others who feel that there is no hope left. May you always find peace in memories and know that she is always there embedded deeply in your hearts.

This is a beautiful tribute to your daughter. I truly believe that she is with you every day and is the real force behind your quest to help others!! You are a strong and wonderful person. If there is every anything I can do, you know I am just a phone call away. Love you!

I still feel the weight on my shoulders from you i know you are watching out for me! This has kept me going from the first day i decided to check myself into rehab. This was nine months ago and have been sober ever since. I have then fond god in my life and i know you can see it all. We miss you and love you. I try to share all the love and compassion i have because you did the same thing with me without even being present! I will carring on the messeg of hope for both me and you because without you looking over me i have no clue where i would be!

Dear Nancy and family, Your tribute to your beautiful daughter through this wonderful website and your advocating for substance abuse is truly inspiring. Ally is looking down on you and thanking you for helping others in their quest to fighting the battle of addiction. I admire your courage and strength to help others so that they do not have to suffer as Ally did. God Bless you and your family...XOXO
