Mark Stone

My only child, Mark, was a kind, caring, talented, precious and promising young man. He was introduced to drugs, mainly oxycontin, that addicted his very being.

Mark was not only an only child, but an only grandchild. He has a daughter, Cassie Nicole, age 11. She is very sad. She and her dad were best of friends and did many things together.

Mark wrote about the pain of his addiction. He fought so hard to quit. Rehabilitation only last 30 days due to insurance will only pay for 30 days. Not enough time. What is wrong with the law enforcement agencies that this is allowed to keep taking the life's of our young? To keep putting families through this horrible nightmare of the most painful experience you can imagine, life without your child. My son was 31. I will miss and love him until the day I die. There are days I want to die because I miss him so very much. He took his own life to end his pain with addiction. Mark hung himself on March 25, 2001.

My nightmare is one of thousands. Please hear our cry for help. Please help the organization that Steven Steiner Sr. has started called dammad. Visit the website at www.dammad.org. How many more life's has to be taken by drug dealers? How many millions of tears has to be shed. We cannot stand by and let this keep happening.

Did you know the number one killer of our nation's young now is DRUGS?

My darling son Mark I cherish you today, tomorrow, and until eternity. I miss you with every breath I take. I will make a difference in this world in your name, Stevie's name and all the other torn apart families from this horrible epidemic.

PLEASE turn in drug dealers and help with any donations to dammad we need support to stop this nation for disaster.
