Richie I know you know that you had the best mom. When I first heard your story when your mom was presenting and I just lost Tommy I was heart broken. Your mom shared how smart and funny your were. Your mom gives the Nope Task Force oxygen to keep it breathing and living because of her love for you and I am so grateful that she through you has helped so many others and their pain. Without your mom all the memorials and the presentations to the kids at the school would not be. So thank you Richie for having the best mom and inspiring her. God be with you always....

What amazing work is being done everyday in honour of your life cut short by the scourge of the most misunderstood and difficult to treat disease of addiction. God Bless Your Mom and Family for the gift of their mission to spread the word and save a life. Through NOPE I am living One Day At A Time and am forever grateful for the amazing solace your Mom is able to lend to others through her great LOVE for YOU. May God Hold You In The Hollow Of His Hand until that day when you will be reunited with those who love you and whom you love. The ONE truth I have learned from this unfathomable horror is that LOVE NEVER DIES AND IT CONTINUES TO CONNECT US FROM ONE LIFE TO THE NEXT, IT CAN NEVER BE BROKEN YET IS STRENGTHENED BY THIS TEMPOARY PHYSICAL SEPARATION. Thanks a million Karen for all your hard work and dedication. Because of your great love for your Son I am able to endure the cross God has given me to carry. If I can be of any help please contact me. Sincerly and with gratitude, Dustins' Mom, Nancy
