Prayers for the family. I wouldn't wish drug/alcohol addiction on my worst enemy.

Truly sad.

It sounds like she came from a good family, and they kept her involved in all the right things to keep her from falling in with bad people...the kind that have nothing better to do than introduce heroin to an innocent girl.

Whoever provided it to her...I hope they are caught and held responsible for this.

This is very sad seems like she had everything going right for her and she made a bad choice that I guess consumed her future and took her life. I agree maybe this will make even if it's a few rethink their choices and change before it is too late. If this message saves one life it is worth it. Respect and love to the family.

The sad thing is, many heroin addicts are, indeed, from "good families."

Heroin does not discriminate - rich, poor, middle class, black, white, brown, male, female...none of it matters when it comes to this wretched stuff. It is real easy to make one bad choice and get hooked.

I am sorry for her family. What hell.

Her parents must be proud of how they raised her.

All it takes is one mistake. God's speed Alison. Peace and comfort to her family who grieves.
