Vaughn Borrelli
My son Vaughn passed away from a heroin overdose July 17, 2015, 4 days before his 25th birthday. His addiction to opioids began after having several back surgeries. Oxycodone was given for the pain. My son was one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. His smile and laugh were infectious. Throughout his addiction, he was able to help other people struggling but unfortunately was not able to help himself in the same way. This may sound strange, but I believe there was a bigger purpose to all of this.
My sons passing was a catalyst for me. It made me a better person. It changed my direction and attitude about life. As devastating and sad as it is that I lost my son, I have to thank him for the gifts he has given me. I loved him when he was alive, and my love for him continues to grow stronger every day. Thank you Vaughn, for being the person you are. I love you. -Janet
