Demri was bisexual, and she was a nudist. thanks for enjoying the post, i think at some point in the future i'll write a longer one with more details (especially positive ones), it feels impossible to do her justice in just a few paragraphs, The last of your months ..days ..none of this matters?

She also refused to take Laynes money, and had to make her own money herself. I started writing this journal online because writing about losing you all has helped to heal my broken heart when nothing else did. It will ruin your life. me too, i wonder what it is about her that's so magnetic! I agree with you D and Eric, in different things a lot of that just sounds to made up..and even if Jerry is a bit arrogant or has this kind of personality-which Ive read somewhere of him being a bit hard on Layne-it doesnt mean hes not a good personShe paints him like such a BAD GUY! Of course we all make mistakes for Gods sake and so what?! Did Layne Staley lose his teeth? His body took a while to die, but his spirit lived on, as did Demris, after her passing. I decided to do a Google search on Demri and I actually found this page which is dedicated to her and Layne it has some poor quality copies of pictures that I actually posted of her like 5 years ago.. It's pretty obvious the person who wrote it didn't know her which became more . I happened to know that my Mom.. who I love dearly and means the world to me would have no clue. Hey would call her to be around him and of course she would eventually relaps and hed kick her to the curb. Doesnt matter though that she was not mentioned in her obituary because I know that Rosheen knew how important she was to Demri and Rosheen was at her funeralso that probably hurt her. I was a reference for him. She was interested in philosophy and poetry, and loved to collect vintage clothes, make decoupage, write poetry and play in front of the camera. . Demri deserves her recognition as the true Queen of the Seattle Scene. Demri Parrott was engaged to Layne Staley (1992 - 1994). and a life without it again can seems totally unrealistic and near impossible to ALOT of addicts if not all and that may sound stupid, heartless of them but most addicts Ive known are also the most sensitive, loving, non-judgmental and wisest people Ive known. Today the sitereceived a comment from Demris Mom Kathleen which is so special because she thought of us and wanted to let us know how she felt today and I personally wanted everyone who watches this site.. friends, fans and people who loved her a chance to hear from her Demris Mom today. The reason Demri always stood out to me was that was always Demri. Does that not spread to ones own family? I respect that. You need to get well. Thank you for visiting the site and showing love for the ones we love. During this year I hadnt heard a thing. For me, I was blesse dot have been there when it all happened ( Im from L.A.

She was around five feet tall-maybe even shorter-and was stunningly beautiful. But unless you knew them.. because they were so private I just cant imagine anyone can ever get it right.. unless you were there and you felt their life spirit.. you know what I mean? Scared of what? Thanks again!! Suffice to say that she got the wrong ideas about some things, Layne was hurt by her assumptions and they parted ways for a while. People dont seem to understand how much Demri suffered the last 2-1/2 years of her life spent mostly in hospital several times on life support given hours to live or that she didnt complain and was always more concerned about others than herself. She was constantly on the run..not sure it was running scared but running for sure maybe she was afraid of missing out or just looking for the next thing to stimulate her I have no clue what it was but I definitely could NOT keep up with her and whenever I tried or whoever tried we all would end up just as sick, lost and confused and most of us would tap out. Poor girl. Demri counted on Layne & others to help, & they did. Hes a different person on coke. After her passing, Layne looked after him. Nope I wanna be up in a loved ones home on the fireplace mantel by the TV.some people really just dont care! Thank you, I know you may not get the chance to answer this. Having the time of their lives, without drugs, and living things up with harmony, peace, and love. Im sure a lot of people would like to see a video of Demri. (Doubtlessly there are some people who were there at these times and knew things differently. I dont know how it is nowadays though. People call to make sure they are listed in the Thank Yous on an album. They started dating around spring or summer that year. Ive read several places where it said he had braces on his legs to help him walk, but I think that is not true. If your brain and body like it your brain and your body will talk you into trying it again.. and again and before you know itand pretty soon you cant stop itand even if your brain and your body agree with your heartdrug addiction is cunning. But miraculously i stabilized and had open heart surgery to replace my valve..im so sorry this is so long but im not done yet. Since it didnt kill them at their first try, which it does to many, they continued on with it. They both deserved better. Can't feel sorry for people who have made mistakes because there are people in 3rd world counties who have it worse. BECAUSE YOU ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED!!
