Why I created Our Wall 

    My sister Nancy Sharon Graham died from a Heroin overdose in November of 1997; she was 43 years old. Ever since that day I felt I had to do something on the Internet so that she would not be forgotten. I was going to make a page for her off of my personal Web-page but as I was making it I thought that nobody except friends and Family would ever see her.

    One of the many things about her death that bothers me is that nobody but friends and family will ever utter her name again. I felt that other people that tragically lost a loved one to heroin might feel the same way. I thought how our brave soldiers of foreign wars have a memorial dedicated to them and how victims of the Aids epidemic have a National Quilt memorializing them. I came up with an virtual Internet wall for our loved ones that fought the battle of heroin addiction and lost.

    I know some people will laugh, or even get angry at the idea of a Memorial for drug addicts. Well, this site is not for those people.  It's for those who have  seen and lived through watching their loved ones slowly killing themselves and  destroying family relationships.

    I watched my gallant sister fight the battle, I saw her  torment, her pain and what it did to her loved ones. I  watched the expressions of my  Mother and Father's faces change from hope to sheer agony when the doctor told them that Nancy was brain dead and that it was time to pull the plug. I heard a sound  come out of my Mother at that moment that in hindsight I could only relate to as an animal dying in the woods. This site is for all the people that have seen and heard these  things. I hope this site can ease some of your pain also. God bless you.
