Frank, I wish there was something I could do but add my condolences & myself to the list of people who are praying for you & your family. I sincerely hope you find some peace and closure. I’m truly sorry.

Hey man, at least you know your sister is no longer living the hell on earth that has been her addiction for so many years. I’m sorry for your loss as a person, it can’t be easy.

Nobody else was happy about it, and we all had our times of being fed up with her, but she mostly enjoyed her lifestyle. She maintained it for 30 years. If you think being murdered is better than being an addict, well . . . Fuck it.

I’m so sorry ☹ I don’t know what I’d do if I lost my sis. For 17 years, it was the two of us against the world.

All I was going to say was of course I don’t think murder is better than being an addict. Good grief no. Just that she is no longer in pain. I’m not sure why you are acting like I’ve done something wrong here. I’m just offering my condolences like everyone else. I really didn’t mean to further upset you.
