Excerpts from "The Huffington Post":


"I just can't believe she's really gone. I keep hoping my baby girl will come downstairs for breakfast in the morning. I really thought we'd won the battle."


"She was everything we hoped for in a daughter. Bright, hopeful and ready for her future. We had some rough patches along the way, but we were sure it all had passed."


18 year old Eve Sanders was found unresponsive in her bedroom Monday afternoon, her parents suspected drugs were the cause. After an autopsy, it turns out they were correct. Sanders died from overdose of methamphetamines. When further examination was done, black tar, also known as heroin, could also be found in her system. Authorities are ruling this an accidental overdose.
