October 29th 1996) was the love of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley's life. Im determined to fight this demon, and be a better daughter, sister, aunt and friend to those who love me.

I often checked on my kids breathing when they were newborns. I was neglecting EVERYONE even my daughter when sick and when High I just wasnt worried about it. We never celebrated my birthday so she wanted to be clean so we could which was on the 28th. And what does Jerrys songwriting abilities have to do with him being an asshole? I changed my number.

I think Demris Mom confirmed that guy was NOT her boyfriend so it was either a friend or someone that picked her up. by someone I never knew. Layne loved what they had done, he thought Jerry did it on purpose. They dated for 2 years after getting together in Mar 1988. It seems that Demri and Layne took pleasure in hurting one another until it got to be too much. Now whether or not Layne ever knew just how much I liked him, I dont know, but Demri knew. She died about three months after the Unplugged album was recorded. Its too late. Her memorial service took place on November 2 at Neighborhood Christian Center, and donations were made to Harborview Adult Medicine Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation, Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. I am not saying Rachel is a bad person, prior to this I thought she was a hat maker genious, but it was at the very least odd because they werent friends, but Demri always the gracious host even on her deathbed. Back in those days, the band lived in abject poverty, "obsessed with getting p---y and who they were f-----g.". Though he did pay for her drug treatment. Demri had the help of her family and Layne, not something to ignore.

A good portion of the stories accessible on the internet seem to take place around the release of Facelift, gathering info about the later years in much harder. But like Demri i have a death sentence hanging over my head because my heart could fail at any time. If thats true then her story is skewed and should be viewed as such (thats a word of caution to the next intrepid armchair detective who gets this far) Its funny how the internet makes it possible for anyone with curiosity and an active imagination to dig up these stories and become fascinated with the lives of people theyve never met who have passed away. Its a terrible disease and I have seen so many patients that I treated and transported from the streets of Detroit that had it from shooting up.
