A banner on her fence warns people to stay away from drugs and 60-year-old Ingrid Subryan is determined to always speak against the scourge of substance abuse, having witnessed the havoc it wreaked in the lives of her two eldest children.
As she witnessed the physical, mental, emotional, and psychological pain her sons endured, Subryan, as any mother would, struggled with them. She did her best, but it was just not enough to save them from the clutches of drug abuse.
Their pain, and to an extent hers, ended recently when the younger of the two was struck down and killed by a garbage truck, and two months later his older brother was found dead in his prison cell. For Subryan, the deaths of Roger and Randy Samuel mean they no longer suffer.
