I pray that you have lots and lots of time left with no pain. We live in a world of selfishness. Beautiful, dedication, Demri, Demri Parrot, Picture, Pictures, Rest in Peace. (Im sure this is an exaggeration but you get the idea.) 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.". Makes me wonder whether genius will always, without exceptions, come with an enormous cost. Those pictures are breathtaking. Im grateful to be 19 years clean and sober and also I stopped before my body got thrashed ( although coke alcohol and pot were my drugs of choice, not heroin). Layne was trying to quit EVERYthing at this time (he even attempted quitting smoking) and Sean was still bringing pot around everytime they would get together. Her memorial service took place on November 2 at Neighborhood Christian Center, and donations were made to Harborview Adult Medicine Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation, Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. Those things would be great, I just wanted to be there when others werent so they had a safety net at all times. I think of her all the time, and how our similarities made me feel so much better about myself as a teenager. I love it. But unless you knew them.. because they were so private I just cant imagine anyone can ever get it right.. unless you were there and you felt their life spirit.. you know what I mean? I try to study the different religions, lead a good life, treat others like I want to be treated and reach out to others who need it. 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. Anyways, I would love to hear an update from you, as to how youre doing, and hopefully feeling better. What a cute smile! They refered to her separately as a groupie who lied and tried to have sex with them and they said NO so she slandered them. Layne loved Clean Demri it gave him hope. Demri died in October 1997, and you say that Rosheen died six months later. Demri HATED being known as Laynes girlfriend.If I had a quarter for all the times she and I were approached with I know youyoure Laynes girlfriend and she would step back and reply No, I am Demri I would take all of us to Vegas. I go to ER find out i have endocarditis again because after u get ur valve replaced it can EASILY get infected again. Not a day goes by when I dont think of the both of them. In a few days it will be 24 years since her passing, and Id really love to honour her just by sharing some of the things Ive read about her; good and bad. Thats an actress and that picture is a screen cap from the video Sea of Sorrow. Alice In Chains. If you need to talk to someone when times get tough just shoot me an email my address is boggs128@aol.com and I will chat with you. Suffice to say that she got the wrong ideas about some things, Layne was hurt by her assumptions and they parted ways for a while. Why? I pray every day that he does not experiment with H, because I know that he will not come back from that. One of his more moronic friends told me that he had actually died, but what little I did get from Layne told me this wasnt true. Everything has already been said here, but I want to thank you personally. I struggle everyday to not use heroin. Having the time of their lives, without drugs, and living things up with harmony, peace, and love. Miss Layne so much. But my son also dabbles in drugs. I think she, Nancy, and Mike Starrs mom have been through hell. I dont update it much because Ive basically said all I have to say and it was the most healing thing I ever did. Hi Barbara, I was just checking in to see if there are any new posts an I noticed your comment about the books. That sound was amazing I was listening to Rotten Apple with the black lights on and it just took me to another place. But Demri seemed to live an existance of from here to there, no where to run, but her mom had a home waiting just for her. Barbara D. I wish they were still hear every time I listen to him sing I cry its so sad Ive been fighting my addictions for 20 years its a daily struggle but the music keeps me alive for now I pray there together energy doesnt die the spirit is forever. She was also seeing this new guy that her family hadnt met. People call to make sure they are listed in the Thank Yous on an album. Most of us refused to turn someone on for the first time. Having been an avid fan of grunge for well over 20 years, I had always wondered about those references to Demri in relation to Laynes demise. Get help for yourself from someone whose been there or a professional and they can help you learn how to handle your specific situation better. 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. Layne and Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr were watching television on April 4, 2002, the day before Staley died of a heroin overdose. Then Demri starts to get sick, and shes in the hospital many times, her heart, her lungs. Love and support to you and your family, God bless to you! Her true fans have compassion. Most of her friends describe her as a very sweet and beautiful person, kind, peaceful and artistic. Just not interested in other peoples opinions or stories, they bore me. Have a look see and enjoy! I hate the way he made people feel, so worthless and small. Not only am I a fan, but I have become intrigued by Laynes life due to having a 21 year old son, who in many ways, reminds me of Layne. Please answer, so that I may know that youre ok. All my love, Laura. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Oct 29th is a day a lot of us who knew and loved Demri will never forget. So, anyway, the point to me leaving a comment is to say that I just read Layne Staley, Born again by Adriana Rubio. Her full name at birth was Demri Lara Parrott. She is too tall.. too lean wrong body type.. cant see her face.. wrong hair.. wrong clothes.. just not her. I cant stand the new AIC, to me you cant really replace a lead singer the same way you can replace a bassist or something (sorry but its true), but anyway. Laura. I went through and read all the Layne/Demri parts when I first got the book, too. For the first time in 10 yrs im doing good! Mike met with her because when Layne got mad she refused his calls so Mike did it to tell her off and because he wanted to find out why he was ejected from the band and figured it was from Melinda and Sean breaking up. And part of me wondered if he moved there because he didnt have to drive anywhere and it was easy access. I first read that on the findadeath.com forum many years ago maybe 06 or 07? She died on 29 October 1996 in Evergreen Hospital, Kirkland, Washington / Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, USA at the age of 27. You can tell when theyre lifers. Although she went to rehab several times, it didnt work to her, and sometimes had to turn to theft and prostitution to get some money for the drugs. Anway hope you continue to find this website informative and fun to visit. He is artistic, plays the drums and guitar, he has natural talent. Yes, I like both men and women. She was vacant, self-serving and morally bankrupt. I am sure that he was pressured to go on tour and not feeling well decided that instead of letting the fans down and letting them see him in that state he felt he had a better chance stating away from that pressure. Marilyn Monroe. I dont think that her and Layne had a healthy relationship and I dont think it should be idealised. Dear Barbara, thanks so so much for this post. I was encouraged even more to see that people actually came here to read it and asked for more. We grew up together and we lost her 9 months after Demri. I found this online and I wanted to share it in case you havent read it before, Laynes girlfriend, Demri [Parrott], was the one who made the connection between our bands. The blue hat was given to the EMP by me at Mike Starrs service there. The picture depicted Staley enjoying a cigarette outside the venue. Then again, all the dealers would come to his house anyway, because, hey, he was Layne Staley. Because it does and these beautiful people have created this place for dialogue. But when people are addicted to heroin, they have to want to stop or you cant really help them. But she went one way for love, he another. Songwriting abilities have nothing to do with personality. I have wanted the book for years, but could not see me spending $200+ for a paperback book. Thanks for setting the record when it needs to beK, COMMENT LEFT ON ORIGINAL POST: DARIN LAMBS GUEST POST ONE OF LAYNE AND DEMRIS BEST FRIENDS AND MY EX-BOYFRIEND, On this anniversary of Dems passing I just want to thank all of you especially you Barbara, Darin and Fabiola for making these bittersweet days a little brighter.when I am aching and missing her I can come here, .Perhaps my niece will write about Dems life it seems some folks are interested.but Ill need you guys for those times.we were so close as you knowthe misinformation and assumptions out there just doesnt get itthanks for truthlove you kathleen, COMMENT LEFT ON ORIGINAL POST: DARINS GUEST POST COMMENTS.

We need to find a way to unite and help our sons, daughters, friends, lovers, entertainers. Just saying that Demri could have done so much more. Geez pretty uncomfortable and geeky but thats why I loved them they were so far from what you would imagine a rock star would be like.. just normal guys who had normal insecurities. Demri was a leech. I think that Layne always sort of blamed himself for not looking after her, because she did need looking after. I honestly hope so but if not.. no judgment here just love and understanding. The website will forever live on my server for those seeking to learn a little more. She said she believes her daughter was there that night to be there with Layne as hes doing his transition.. Thanx though cool video.. they were all such dorks when it came to interviews.
