All of you stay safe and strong and Barbara thanks so much for sharing with all of us fans out there! How you doing Jacqueline? I feel as though we can no longer talk about Layne on any AIC sites and that he is slowely being weened off of all of them..so again & again, thanks, and love hearing your stories. He is at rehab all drugs are drugs so I think he was right, besides why not. Finally, best of luck if you write a book Muself, I would love to produce a film documenting all of this. Demris mother, Kathleen Austin got that teddy bear back after being found in the things Layne left after his death. It is not that great. Just not interested in other peoples opinions or stories, they bore me. I hope that you get to write your own edition of a book about Demri and Layne. It was Layne and Demri and they had to find me to tell me they started doing dope and how wonderful it was, and right then I knew they I took this picture with my web camera.. the picture was a photo copy taped to my wall.. It speaks volumes about this site that a guy sitting in his living room in Iceland in 2017, can read through it and feel as if he were a fly on the wall in all these parties and gatherings. Do not let it get YOU! 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. Its sad because most society cant look past ones addiction to drugs although we all have some weakness or do something that would be frowned upon & even if one was perfect its still not right. For my own sobriety I need to stay away from addicts. For all the site! Xana La Fuente, if youre reading this, I just want to tell you that I find you so inspiring too. To pay for such risks with ones life is just awful and seems unfair. Finally, best of luck if you write a book Muself, I would love to produce a film documenting all of this. Especially a timeless celebrity like Layne Staley who left behind such a powerful legacy of music that continues to be important to so many people. Just some random thoughts I had. Layne Staley died on April 5, 2002 due to an overdose. It happens a lot to drug addicts. Layne and "Demri's" families have the right to mourn them with dignity and they have a right to remember their loved one's through very rose tinted glasses. Writing about my life and the lives of the people I lost and actually having people care enough to read and respond was a HUGE blessing for me. She sometimes complained that she knew he was sleeping with other girls, but she also had relationships on the side too. Very seldom been wrong. Thank you B! Take care and Thanks so very much again for keeping this site up and running. Laura. then announces the song say hello to heaven. Ill do what I want! She was her own being, she did what she wanted, to the point that her tiny body couldnt take it anymore. and Layne almost backed out then, but the others talked him into it. I often checked on my kids breathing when they were newborns. Otherwise its just another chain.. you cant go without. That's what Layne is for me. When Demri passed, Layne really took that hard. But they were always connected, and when she passed, so did Laynes spirit. You are so missed. I offered to go if it would help in any way (work was my drug) friends suck it up and help eachother. They began dating a short time after they saw each other. Or did others drive her to where she needed to go? A google search for Demri and Layne brought me here at last. I started our just doing it because it made me feel energized to create my own music as well as to work. . She believes her body is so damaged, which it may have been, that, why quit? For instance, I would never trade my mother for anything in the world and she would give her last breath for me. Demri was okay with paying half, but not all. It steals everything from us including everything that makes us who we are the things we love about ourselves and then it takes our very last breathe before we even know how far gone we are. Ive read a lot about Demri over the past six years. Id like to read it someday but finding a copy would be the hard part and there is no way Id pay that much to read a book by someone who just researched Mike. Is it possible to be Demri on the left? When she struggled with addiction she ended up homeless, often couch surfing from place to place and staying with different friends and family before moving on, and carrying most of her valuable things in her suitcase. Much love to you. Did pick up the phone for him and speak to John Wayne Gacy and didnt know til I hung up, every place else was an apt. I am very sorry about your lossI hate cancer and congrats on doing good, keep strong. Thanks Dave! But Demri did start using drugs again, and instead of asking her to leave, because then she would really be in trouble, Layne took a hike. God Bless. Every addict Ive read about has said the same thing. Bless you. Being in a relationship w/ Layne changed none of that. Demri Parrott. I have noticed that Layne is very tall, upright in his earlier career. Im confused. What could he dofight back? Yes, I like both men and women. Sorry I meant to say decision! Mothers Love. Then Demri starts to get sick, and shes in the hospital many times, her heart, her lungs. Although she went to rehab several times, it didnt work to her, and sometimes had to turn to theft and prostitution to get some money for the drugs. Every now and then Ill go through a phase where I read as much as I can about her, it never really feels like I know enough. I hear all these people who talk down on heroin addicts because they cant just quit or that they make other people suffer. That time he was upset because he felt everyone in the band should be at Rehab and it really pissed him off to be singled out esp. I think at that point Jerry got pissed and tired of waiting around and did his own music. Hopefully others will not make the same mistakes that so many of us have. I dont update it much because Ive basically said all I have to say and it was the most healing thing I ever did. The girl is shorter, but not 411 short like Demri was. They dated for 2 years after getting together in Mar 1988. She is too tall.. too lean wrong body type.. cant see her face.. wrong hair.. wrong clothes.. just not her. But if it was Amber Feranno who said someone else made that hat, I am really confused, I talk to her often enough and she knows I designed and made ALL of Andys hats and clothing. God bless her mother, cause mine would have let me die without hospital stays. While it warms my heart that people want to know about her, care about her, love her and most of all have not forgotten her genuinely unique gifts. Dear Susan, Bless you. Doesnt mean I want them in my life. It seems that Demri and Layne took pleasure in hurting one another until it got to be too much. In October 1996, Staley was deeply shocked by the death of Demri Parrott, the vocalist's long-time girlfriend and fellow drug addict. Jerry loved the rock star lifestyle and didnt want to give it up and he was pissed at Layne. Demri was born in Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, in the United States of Americas Pacific Northwest. Regardless, you have done great justice to remembering your friends. Again thank you. To clarify Demri was in the hospital at least 13 times I know of each time 2-4 months from 93 to 96 which didnt leave much time for her to get in trouble. That was her. Bless you, get well, and have a Happy New Year filled with love, happiness, and joy. Much love to you, from W. Seattle xoxo. He fretted and fretted. De Sola writes in Alice in Chains: The Untold Story: People who knew very well Layne and Demri, in general, agreed and told me that Layne never surpassed Demris death. Thought the site was abandoned but I know life gets in the way. The book was poorly written. Dear Barbara, I wrote this on Darrins page, but Im writing to you again on this one, though they are probably all one and the same. She was human. thank you Barbara if you see this for sharing all this information. It was copied and posted to several different places. The rest Yes, Jerry had a coke problem. I do know for sure that he seemed shorter because his spine curved since he spent literally years in that position. Young, but very sexy. I am glad Rosheen knew how much she mattered, because that is what really counts anyway. Now whether or not Layne ever knew just how much I liked him, I dont know, but Demri knew. Layne loved Clean Demri it gave him hope. I was just wondering why couldnt you guys call the cops? This drug is so powerful and addicting that people will keep using even when theyre slowly killing themselves, ruining their lives and hurting the people they love the most! Layne tried it, loved it. Do you know if you have the first version or the second? Love and support to you and your family, God bless to you! The place was supposed to be for both. Maybe someday I will write that book but as of right now I do not have any concrete plans to do that.. and if I ever did write a book it would be about MY life not just theirs and then I would include stories that involved them but I could never write just a book about them.. to me that would be..weird, wrong possibly? She turned really different, and believe me when I say that she was not truly the person that she was becoming. We loved our friends and they dropped like flies around us one after the otherwe thought we could control it.. they thought they could live forever.. I know it can be a struggle to help drug addicts. if you knew what junkies were like you wouldn't be romantising this shite. I can only imagine what the music, art and fashion industries would be like today if they had both survived their addictions. For university, she studied at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, Jacksonville, Florida (1985 - 1989). How does one know which ones will get stuck there and get in the grips of addiction? People just want to feel happiness again. In the position he was in, its probably the only way he couldve had a lasting relationship. But Im glad that Demri existed, she was special and brightened the lives of many of those around her special enough that we still talk about her and admire her beauty 24 years after her death. She was around five feet tall-maybe even shorter-and was stunningly beautiful. They were both so beautiful in their own weird way. But NOBODY should romanticize this story. Ok, Ive said enough here I hope I help someone with my stories. Thats what all 4 of my friends whose lifes are over would tell you all who are hear reading this. Demri never grew up. Anway hope you continue to find this website informative and fun to visit.
