Marci, We are so very proud of you and the wonderful things that you are accomplishing in our community. The Rally that you have worked on and planned for Oct.3,2004 sounds like it will be a great success. Just bringing this horrible heroin stories to the surface and talking about them freely to everyone is very helpful.You are so open and caring about trying to help others to not go through what our family has suffered. You Go GIRL!!!! Keep getting the word out and eventually the folks that need to get the information will get it and listen to it. They have to be receptive but at least we can help their families to information to get them some help when they are ready... Keep up the great work! Love always, Mom and Dad

My name's Steve I'm an addict in recovery. I never used Heroin but I used many other kinds of drugs in my lifetime, I never realized I was an addict until I started looking for help for my daughter. I knew she was an addict because she told me she had become addicted to Heroin. Scared to death I looked for a way to help her. What I found out was that before I could help her I had to help myself. I found that help in a 12 step program. I didn't know your brother but have met so many like him. Most start using drugs just to be part of the crowd they think they want to be a part of. Smoking pot or having a beer just trying to fit in.But some of us just can't stop there and we move on to something a little stronger because we just can't reach that same state of euphoria that we experienced that first time, we chase it trying one drug after another until we just don't know any other way of life. Eventually many try Heroin and once they have either the drug or the lifestyle will put them in jail or an institution of some sort or kill them sooner or later. It's not just Norwalk that has a serious problem with Heroin, we are in a war all over the country big city small town it doesn't discriminate poor people rich people it doesn't care. The enemy is the disease of addiction. Heroin is one of the most powerfully addictive substances but there are many other drugs that are just as destructive. I felt that I had to put these words on this site because so many people are naive about drug use in our community especially among our very young people. We as parents often don't see what is right before our eyes . We are too busy , we are in denial or we're so deep in our own addiction that we can't recognize it. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Hopefully a few will see your site and if only one life is changed by it all your efforts will have been worth it. Parents do you know what your child is doing? If not find out. Listen to your children, it's too important not to. Love them and be involved in their life, treat them as equals, for many of them it's all they really want. I will pray for Pete and all the other children that are for the first time picking up a drug and heading down the destructive path that is the disease of addiction.

I am glad to know a little more about Pete's life. I am sure his story is helpful to others. You speak about Pete with such love and care. That alone will be an inspiration to others.

I met Pete for the first time in 6th grade at Norwalk Middle School. My parents didn't want me attending Norwalk High School so they moved me to Milan in 8th grade. I remember Pete as an adorable, outgoing boy. Very smart indeed. He was always very nice to me. After moving away, I still kept in contact with a few friends from Norwalk. I remember seeing Pete quite a few times at football games and parties. He was always smiling and loud. He had a voice and smile that sticks in your mind. I was never real close with him, but always liked Pete. I went to OU and graduated in 1998. I beleive I saw Pete a few times at a few OSU (Norwalk) parties. He was the same old funny Pete. During those last few years of college I saw many Norwalk kids going down a dark road. It was scary and I wasn't close enough to any of them to get involved. I just prayed for them. I heard about Pete's death a few weeks before my wedding in March of 1999 in Norwalk. I was so shocked that he was involved and so deeply saddend. I remember saying to my husband who also grew up in Norwalk that I hope they all learn from Pete's death. I have been saddend quite a few times since hearing of more deaths. The beautiful little town of Norwalk has a very dirty secret. I am so glad you are honoring Pete and trying to open the eyes of parents and close friends of the countless others who could share the same fate. Prayers and blessings to you and your family.

Hello Marci. I am Susie and I am a recovering addict. My heart goes out to you and I must say that I am not sure why I wasn't Pete. I got clean at the age of thirty nine after so much distruction to myself and the ones who loved me. Although I am grateful to be alive, I can't help but wonder why Pete and not me. I know I have a purpose for me and maybe it's to help someone like Pete. Keep up the good work sweetie and always remember..."We are not bad people trying to get good, we are sick people trying to get well, Much Love, Peace and Light
