On drugs and needing the klonapin I am sure she didnt discourage his feelings but more so she didnt want to hurt his feelings. So thanks for always showing us the best of Demri! Thank you for visiting the site and showing love for the ones we love.

But all the while enjoying experiences that you must cherish greatly, I imagine.
