Milagros Pagan

Like so many here, you were beset by the Demons of addiction,HIV, and generational trauma from A system that lets so many marginalized people fall through the cracks. You disappeared from a treatment center in 1990 when you were trying to get clean of your addiction, only to return to your hometown of New York and die of an overdose in 1993. You were listed as a missing person, your children searched for you for decades. Finally, 31 years later, through a post on a missing person's page through facebook, you became a missing person no more. Your story did not have a happy ending like most of them do not, you probably died alone or among strangers, but you had children and family who were looking for you and you were loved. May you rest in peace and rest in power, and may you find the peace in the next life that you were sadly never able to find in this one. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=959249049150195&id=100051953260803
