This website is dedicated to { David & Linda's} Son Robert G. Winn. He
passed away June 19, 2007 in
Reno,
NV. While under the influence of crystal methamphetamine Robert fell through the
window of the three story building where he was staying. Robert hit his head
when he landed. He was pronounced brain
dead on Father’s Day, June 17, 2007. On June19 Robert took his last breath. All that he
knew, all that he was, was lost. I and
all that loved him were crushed. He was
only 38 years old and had two kids.
This website has links to other helpful websites about Meth
addiction. There are testimonials from
family and friends who loved Robert. We
will be posting stories from people who have overcome their addictions,
too.
Robert’s desire once he was free was to help others to
overcome this terrible addiction. I told Robert on many occasions that someday he would be the one that would change peoples lives forever. You
or someone you know can be freed from this prison. Our desire
is that this website will aide you in your search for freedom.
Our prayers go out to you and your families.

Life’s selections.
Search the sky

My Heart aches
So sad each day
Sun still shines

My mind’s eye
Like wings of a dove
His life's memories
Reflections of love.

Meth releases high levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine (three to
