Poor Foo Fighters. Poor Alison Hawkins. Poor kids.

RIP. Another one gone too soon. Don't do heroin alone.

Have one thing in common. That he was amazing at bringing people together to be happy.

Sometimes those who work so hard to make others happy are suffering terribly themselves. It’s very sad.

Reminder to us all that we never fully know the path someone else is walking in this life.
