not demri.will try and find the link to the post that says she was not available/she and Layne not together at the time. That night, Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr, who had just been tossed from the band, claimed he actually died and came back as he bounced from shooting up with one famed musician to the other. Not knowing how dangerous heroin was, getting into it and then just not being able to get out not realizing when getting into it that it is something that someone cant get out of, seems just heartbreaking. Do you know if you have the first version or the second? Although I know that my parents did the best they could, I want more for her and never want her to feel how I have so many time. That would mean everything to me. That was her. But I wound up in Seattle , playing led guitar in the lare eighties and early nineties. I mean no disrespect with this question. We need to find a way to unite and help our sons, daughters, friends, lovers, entertainers. As a loved one, you have to be alert. I was a weird kid because I liked all different types of music that kids my age didnt like because it was considered uncool. There is no magic cure.. but writing, journaling and even just talking about the ones you lots does help or at least it helped me. Apparently, he found that lasting love with Dem or did he? . Born February 22, 1969 But NOBODY should romanticize this story. I dont think many people did, to be honest with you. One story has Demri trying to kick drugs & dating a coke dealer in the final days of her life. Yes, families fight, a lot, but in death should not peace be made between everyone? Layne, I was yours for the asking, but you never asked. I believe its the second version. Was that not what Demri was trying to say? So beautifully said, I believe the same. Big hugs! TOM HANSEN Demri ended up getting endocarditis, which is an infection of the lining around your heart. 2. Im sure a lot of people would like to see a video of Demri. , Hi, thank you Barbara if you see this for sharing all this information. People are complex and I never knew her but it seems this tribute site exists because she earned it. May your familys hearts be at ease and protected. The drug grabbed a hold of me and before I knew it I was doing dumb shit to get my hands on it. What happened with that book, he had a really good chronological order of things. Anyways, I can imagine what Layne and his girl were going through when people you thought were your friends are either with you or against you and the others are there because your famous and providing whatever you need. You are so missed. I visit it often . She showed me her belly button, and she goes, Look, I can make a cats butt! "When Sean got lit he was pretty unstoppable," a friend says. I came across this site while listening to Laynes music on line.I along with many others loved his music and now I see why Layne loved Demri.I never new them but feel such a love from this website and the pictures of Demri and Layne. Also I read somewhere that Layne wanted kids of his own is that true? I started writing about her online about 12 years ago now and some of the pictures I posted can still be seen floating around online like the one of them kissing taped to my wall or the black and white ones of her in the coat and hat.. all print outs I received from Darin from her memorial. They both go through hell, together and apart, but the love they shared keeps them together, not as a couple, but as two people who will never leave one another, no matter what. She couldve been so much more, its a shame. Layne was okay until the last night of the tour. Haha. Career: Model, Artist, Muse, and Actress. I guess Im looking at the wrong fb pages. As a young artist, she wrote poems and also found a way to start a career as an amateur actor. Thank you for sharing this, I don't care how accurate it was. But when people are addicted to heroin, they have to want to stop or you cant really help them. Guys wanted to be noticed by you and most girls wanted to be like you or be your friend! Just thinking about it. Barbara you remember when you came into the room at the hospital and thought you were interrupting and we got Rachel to leave so you could have some private time with Demri and she thanked you saying she felt like she had vultures over her and could feel Rachel wanted her to die so she could have Layne. Hope you write that book about the two of them and/or those times! Please take care if you. It is believed that her death has overwhelmed Layne so much that he returned to addiction. I have a respectable job and the only way I could keep it was to get right before I went to work and I would spend a 2 week pay check in 3 days and starve for 2 weeks. Layne had told her that if she started using drugs again hed have to make her leave. Hide the drugs!' It is not worth experimenting with. Ive read several places where it said he had braces on his legs to help him walk, but I think that is not true. 2nd have some compassion or can you not readI have just been told I am dying of cancer and yes I have kids too and am a single parent at that with bills as wellso I understand all to well and I too am a recovering addictI in no way was ugly to no-one whatsoever!!!!!! Her biological father is Dennis Wayne Dougherty. Chris Cornells recent death triggered something in me and Ive spent days reading through this site among others. Every addict Ive read about has said the same thing. Valley St. or Roy. Marilyn Monroe. Club tells us, the people close to the singer appear to think that a very specific point in time marked the start of his darkness. Cornell said Layne came up the stairs to the apartment and was crying and nobody got up and gave him a hug and now he wished hed have done that. Demri, Layne said, appeared to him before his death, so maybe he wasnt so alone. The surgery went good..(tryin to hurry) after surgery i got on suboxone n was doing really good for 6 months. Thank you Kat, I try to be friendly and just treat everyone like I would expect to be treated so its always nice to hear. She also had a very unique style, and was very popular. She had her friends, and Layne, who made sure someone was always there to look after her.

Barbara, Typos. Would anynof those be from 95 or 96 ? I know her story is full of pain and mistakes, you never hid that from us, and maybe because of this some close friends and family dont come in public to tell about her. When Layne didnt feel like eating Johnny could get him to drink an Ensure sometimes 2 or 3. Their pain or their struggle. She believes her body is so damaged, which it may have been, that, why quit? I had the chance to throw out all this anger by the music in order to help others. I hope your doing better.

God bless them both, may both be in Heaven with G0Ds good graces falling upon them. Yes, they had other loves, yes, they were not dating at the time of her death, yes, Demri was off on a jag, staying with someone else. Layne apparently adored her; he would never talk badly about her and apparently it was the same with her. Johnny was a Godsent to Layne. Hed had a close call and he didnt think that hed be able to stay clean on the road with that lifestyle. It changes the chemistry in your brain and you become to where you can not experience joy or happiness with out it and it takes YEARS for your brain to recuperate and those are some pretty sad years where your brain does not function properly. I do know for sure that he seemed shorter because his spine curved since he spent literally years in that position. It must be so painful and so hard but also them you receive these positive messages, of love towards you, towards Demri and this must be also very grateful. Those things would be great, I just wanted to be there when others werent so they had a safety net at all times. I went to the ER and had ct and mri and found out i had endocarditis. No problem.
