\"Casey<\/a><\/p>\n

A photo from my archives of my then-partner<\/strong> Casey, taken in October 2013 in Fresno, California.<\/p>\n

Casey had lived a difficult life and had substance abuse problems, but in 2013 she was hard at work on her way to recovery and having a life again. I fell in love with her warm soul and her ability to bring me out of my shell.<\/p>\n

But relapse started in 2014, and my refusal to be her enabler caused the relationship to stall, and for her to move back to her family in Las Vegas, where the relapse continued to take a toll on her and her loved ones. The pain came to an end in April 2016, when an overdose episode claimed her life.<\/p>\n

Casey, your pain is over, it’s time to be at peace and happy about the delightful soul that was you. The demons that haunted you are now history too. You will live<\/a> on in the hearts and minds of your family and friends, and it was a true delight having had a chance to know and love you. Rest in peace.<\/p>\n
