The parents of Victoria Eikenburg say their daughter's drug-related death came at a time when she seemed poised to confront her demons and begin helping others to do the same.

From the Buffalo News article:

"Patients wear fentanyl patches on their skin like a bandage, allowing the pain reliever contained inside to be slowly released a little at a time into the body. But abusers often chew, smoke or inject the patches to get the full effect of the fentanyl immediately, an effect similar to, but more potent than, morphine."

Eating fentanyl patches is never a good idea. Whatever happened to just smoking a little weed? You cannot kill yourself by smoking weed. I cannont understand drug abusers these days, back in my day, heroin was the worst that you could do. Now people are chewing pain patches? WTF?!?!

Sure I know a thing about the girl, she was a junkie and she got what was coming to her.

Let's be completely honest here....

Do you really "mourn the loss" of a family member who is an addict?

Not me. if I had a 20 year old junkie daughter, I would get a big insurance policy on her, kick her out of the house, and hope for the best

I am sure this girl put her family through hell since she was about 13 years old- with stealing and rage, and looking like a complete embarrassment

[nfourwheeler7]

reminds you of your kids? or your life?

[Life Coach]

"LOSS" ??????????

What "Loss" ?????????

If I had some heroin addicted daughter out prostituting herself and embarrassing the family, I would get a HUGE insurance policy on her and then smile all the way to the bank when she OD's or somebody killed her

OK Coach. You've had your gallon of Vokda today. Time to hit the hay.

[mountain woman]

If it were my child I would pray for her and do what I can to save her life. The family already hurts. That is sad.

[Ray86]

How dare you people you have nothing better to do all day then come on here and disrespect these people. Do you know how many families have to deal with addiction. And all three where not in the bathtub "stawho" it is very sad to see some of the horrible comments on here. It makes me think less of people after reading some of the horrible things written. I dont know this girl but am very close to one of the victims and it is hurtful to read this and wrong.....

However if u are a recovering addict you would understand the struggles to stay clean especilly as far progressed as these people were in there addiction its a diease and i hope they all can now rest in peace and not feel sick any longer.
