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. I could not have put it better.Recovering addict myself. Boredom plays a role and if your a recovering addict you have to keep yourself busy. I think Jerry really was sincere, too, at least back then. It was drilled into him how his life and career would be over if she OD on his watch so he was afraid to have her around if she was using. Now for the more positive things: Demri Parrott (which I recently found out was pronounced Puh-Row) was described by everyone who knew her as a bubbly, charismatic and beautiful girl. She stayed with whoever would let her in during her final year, and was taken in by the father of a friend. Its not Angry Chair, its the revised addition, Get Born Again. Haha! Demri had family, many friends, and Layne, but she kept on running to the end. That is good news. They have many members,some who knew Layne personally,and they are always being updated with member participation. What a hard an painful situation. Although Demri passed anyway, her mother remembers her fondly and without regret or anger. He wanted a teddy bear that Demri Lara Parrott had and who had stayed with her at the hospital.. Red carpet photos. Xana La Fuente, if youre reading this, I just want to tell you that I find you so inspiring too. He went into rehab after that. I get so busy I dont even recognize the date sometimes. Ward was when Layne went on tour and he quit paying rent there. It means so much to me. Ive really been inspired by a lot of Laynes music, both AIC and Mad Season. I could go on for days with stories, but I wont. She turned really different, and believe me when I say that she was not truly the person that she was becoming. Hopefully, this still reaches you today. Jul 10, 2014 - Layne with fans New Years Eve 1999, reportedly last public photo in circulation. RIP Layne, Demri, Mike, rosheen, Andrew, Chris, and everyone else who left this life untimely. They broke up around spring summer 94, or maybe even earlier. Let me just say that its truly a pleasure to meet you here Xana. Demri and Rosheen loved each other very much and I loved them both. I bring it up also because I know her family would prefer it be used that way. Thanks Dave! Demri Parrott (demrilaraparrott)'s profile on Myspace, the place where people come to connect, discover, and share. Alice in Chains manager Susan Silver told journalist Greg Prato in his book Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music that she was the one who went to Laynes apartment to tell him that Demri had died. We lost so many friends its no wonder the ones that are left behind like me and Darin.. suffer from PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) not unlike a war torn vet would but the only difference is people dont see us as heroes we brought this upon ourselvesthe uncontrollable addiction that is .. Heroin. Same symptoms. FULL FILM: https://youtu.be/qMlLfrU5fjsAlice in Chains lineup throughout the Layne Staley era consisted of Layne Staley (87 - 98), Jerry Cantre. But not in a slutty way. Layne Staley and Demri Parrott were, according to close friends and bandmates, described as perfect for each other and the term soulmates has been used more than once to define their relationship. I also thing its amazing how they found such amazing friends along the way who stuck with them during the hardest times! Sounds like you are happy and settled now with your beautiful familyhave a good weekend xx, Barbara, When she was herself she was a very sensitive and fun girl. I am an agnostic. Its a terrible disease and I have seen so many patients that I treated and transported from the streets of Detroit that had it from shooting up. I think the Laynes Place being referred to was the Ward Street house they both lived in with both of their stuff. I tried to tell myself its all in my head and that it would get better but no matter what the drug strips you of your ability to compromise and feelings about how things affect others. xx. I dont know what happened after 99. He became sort of ashamed and let it go longer than he should have. Im so glad that Demris mother supported her no matter what. I hope this made sense I just typed it at 5 a.m. Night world! For university, she studied at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, Jacksonville, Florida (1985 - 1989). Doesnt mean I want them in my life. She loved to model and I love this picture of her Demri just being Demri.. Rest in Peace Sweet Girl - Demri Lara Parrott 1969-1996 ROSHEEN RAUGI Rosheen and Demri - RIP Rosheen Raugi June 19th 1997 Rosheen was my best friend. The best thing you can do is dont freaking try it. No one would have had any idea who she was if not for Layne. I offered to go if it would help in any way (work was my drug) friends suck it up and help eachother. Thank you again, Layne. Thank you for that! I was a reference for him. Then I read this post and it all made sense who this Koa is and what her role might have been in their lives. AIC has always been a huge impact on me personally (and musically). I have IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, so I shouldnt be taking anything, but the pain is so bad. Just curious, why isnt Rosheen amongst the loved ones mentioned in Demris obituary? great website. Then there was some stuff with his mother that I just cant share here. I never thought much about the lyrics until, fast forward about 6 years, and I was on dope. 04/05/93|04/05/02 One Day Ay A Time. So thanks for always showing us the best of Demri! Rest in Peace my sweet friends. Depends on the person but most would do anything to be all that their families wanted for and from them but addicts can get so far gone and lost that they cant see the light at the end of the heroin tunnel anymore and heroin has become their everything. Content on this page is contributed by editors who belong to our editorial community. She loved creating decopage with 30s and 40s vintage style images cut outs from wrapping paper or old greeting cards. Thats where all the gangrene rumors started. It is not easy because our brain chemistry is so damaged its hard to live life again with out it. But, how did it happen? The saddest thing about Demris family is that there were 4 children and now there is only 1 left. 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. Ive talked to you on FB and appreciate how friendly and open you are When I came to your website and pulled up Dems page, I realized I had already been here a few years ago. Rare pictures show her to be tiny, soft-featured and pretty, with long brown hair and hazel-green eyes. I was iving heroin for 8 years when i suddenly came down with what i thought was the flu. What a cute smile! It doesnt seem right to me that they continue the band because there is no improvement. It can sneak back in and take over even faster then it did the first time. Anyway.. hate to burst your bubble and mine.. because I was excited to see a video of her FINALLY but no that is not her. pfft, you didn't even fkn know her. Unconditional love? I know he was taking care of Layne and buying groceries and making sure he was eating and cared for. When she struggled with addiction she ended up homeless, often couch surfing from place to place and staying with different friends and family before moving on, and carrying most of her valuable things in her suitcase. Dating seems illogical. They both wanted to live a normal life, get married, but the drugs stood in the way. because you write about people and events where you can not find if it is the truth sorry my english. I liked Classic rock and blues when I was 11. Layne was around more drugs due to his lifestyle. Around October 20th or so she made some phone calls and wrote some letters to some people. Her zodiac star sign was Pisces. I dont know who wrote it but if it was Kathleen I would guess that she could not mention everyone and I bet a lot of important people were not mentionedbecause only Demri really knew who mattered the most to her just like you only know who is really important to you. What a wonderful site and tribute to Layne and Demri. Nice she was, but not very independent. JAMES BURDYSHAW Demri had started lookin kinda ragged for a young person. Let their legacy be one of art and discovery, friendship and love. I am glad Rosheen knew how much she mattered, because that is what really counts anyway. Around 98, Mark Lanegan was living with Layne. Im pretty sure about it , Much love, peace and good karma to you! I too adore the photo of Demri on the couch, didnt she have the prettiest, most elegant little hands?! I know thats super personal n i thought i remember Barbara saying she didnt know specifics on what exactly happened. I found this online, in case some of you havens seen it before. Lol. She showed me her belly button, and she goes, Look, I can make a cats butt! If memory serves, her mother was a counselor while Demri was alive. Then Demri starts to get sick, and shes in the hospital many times, her heart, her lungs. *, I will pray for you and your family, God bless you Susan. Demri Parrott (born Demri Lara Murphy on February 22nd 1969 - d. October 29th 1996) was the love of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley's life. Thank you for sharing about Demri. She was apparently very chatty, witty and loud. Demri Parrott had an encounter with Katina Bonita Evangeline (1991). Barbara might be able to offer more insight, but I definitely get the vibe that Layne wanted to eventually get clean and have a family at some point in his future. Demri didnt have money she combed the carpet and started using again. Not just to your soul and family but to your body in general. Layne, I was yours for the asking, but you never asked. Demri, who was the cutest, most beautiful thing in the world, came up to me one night and lifted up her shirt. She wasnt making a lot of money back then, but she did manage to get a lot of his. To be honest Leah.. Layne is one of my favorite musicians and as soon as I saw and read about Demri, its easy to see why she was loved by so many and still is! I am thinking more of teens I have been watching grow up from their young years. Ive been writing on this website now for at least 4-5 years and before that I would write about my memories on my personal blogs (Divageekdesigns.com and ibdreamy.livejournal.com) when I was missing them or whateverbut those posts got so much attention.. over the years that I finally decided to create a website dedicated to them. (Im sure this is an exaggeration but you get the idea.) Layne Staley believed that the ghost of Demri visited him just days before his April 2002 death. Yeah were gay, wanna join us? LOL! He started doing this whole big martyred thing in the press Im standing by Layne, even though its making me sufferrrrrrr! but in private he was slipping the knife in. For all the site! In October of 1996, his fianc Demri Parrott, died as a result of bacterial endocarditis, as she was also a heroin addict. Oh that thing about walking down a hall and druggies is b.s. It didnt matter if I was exhausted. She introduced him to heroin, though he probably was doing other drugs before her, such as coke. That is a horrible excuse some addicts may use to treat people badly, steal from people they know or physically hurt people.. thats all on them still. There are very few who are strong enough to keep up the fight for as long it will take to stop completely and for a lifetime. She didnt want to be known asLayne Staleys girlfriend, but she started to be known this way. I can understand as well as empathize with Layne, Demri, and all addicts that have been seduced by a drug that seems so good at first. I believe that when he lost her he probably felt like it should have been him and that the only hope to be happy was gone and like I explained before he probably just gave up trying to quit and just decided to let it consume him. *Please watch her video called What the Cancer Industry doesnt want YOU to know and her video called Terminal Brain Cancer Cured On Raw Food. I just feel that sometimes Jerry does not get enough credit for the good things that he has done. We all know parts of things, combined it all might make sense one day huh? Know that you are loved, and that we all care about you. Tags: , Hi, (i.e. Thank You! She was having a harder time this time and told him to take her to Capital Hills to get drugs he said, No! He just didnt tell anyone that he was leaving. Layne was flipping through the channels and stumbled on the John Edward show Crossing Over, on which a medium claimed to speak to audience members dead relatives. A month after I saw her on the bus, she was dead. Because it does and these beautiful people have created this place for dialogue. Was it the greater love that made them sole matesdrugs? I too lost a sister. Most of her friends describe her as a very sweet and beautiful person, kind, peaceful and artistic. and this: watch?v=LL29f0AehNI If you go onto Facebook you will find a number of groups dedicated to the memory of Layne. For those of you who don't know, Layne Staley, the singer of Alice in Chains, was in the long time relationship with Demri Lara Parrot who sadly died in 1996 from drug overdose. Youve lived through so much loss and heartache, and youre still there for the real fans, speaking the truth. Demri was in and out of the hospital for the last couple of years of her life. Still makes me very sad to this day as well, some pain never goes away I guess. Was that not what Demri was trying to say? I needed to get back to work and Id drive them crazy getting up every couple hours and putting my ears to their mouth to make sure they were breathing. Despite never getting too involved, she is still my alpha and omega, my joy and sorrow, my beginning and my end. Demri Lara Parrott Murphy (February 22nd 1969 - October 29th 1996) was an American model, artist, and muse, and an amateur actress, girlfriend and later fiancee of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley . Thank you for visiting the site and showing love for the ones we love. As I approach the 10year anniversary of the day I came home from work ( I bartended at Lindas the iconic dive bar on Seattles Capitol Hill) and discovered my sister dead in our apartment on Denny Ave N. Nobody can understand what a loss of a beloved can take from those left behind if they havent been there. I realize this stuff is old news for you guys, but for people who are just coming to this subject (who have a passion to know the truth) the information via comments on this site is vital. Then I went back to Houston, where I was working at a nightclub, and the phone rang in the office. But they were always connected, and when she passed, so did Laynes spirit. Demri was the biological daughter of Kathleen Ann (Austin) and Dennis Wayne Dougherty. Do not let it get YOU! We were buddies and got closer when he was engaged to Miranda because he really wanted to do right by her. Layne and "Demri's" families have the right to mourn them with dignity and they have a right to remember their loved one's through very rose tinted glasses. It is a familiar tale but one that just cant penetrate the young minds. She also refused to take Laynes money, and had to make her own money herself. She did her movies, needed a babysitter for many, but she got through it all. Sorry I really wasnt trying to make this about me just stating that the daily struggle is so hard and it always helps to have those who have been there talk you through it. Layne continued touring, they both continued the drugs. Anyways, I can imagine what Layne and his girl were going through when people you thought were your friends are either with you or against you and the others are there because your famous and providing whatever you need. 2. God bless her mother, cause mine would have let me die without hospital stays. Please write that story, for a book. Drugs make you paranoid. Please I beg of you. My daughter was actually a big reason why I fell into darkness because her mom was making my life miserable and it made me feel absolutely worthless and then I would get high bc then I wouldnt think about it. Just rude and no respect Or those already gone like Demri and Layne.. best thing they can come up with is they have a life to live??? Theyd have taken her by the arms, and said, She was the "it" girl in Seattle in the early 90s and anyone who knew her and the club scene at the time I doubt would argue with me on that.".
