In this special edition of Talk with Erin Stock, I share a very personal story about my 16 year old niece, Jaydynn, and what it was like to have to say good-bye to her just a few weeks ago. I share my most cherished memory, the timeline of finding out how she passed, a few emotional moments that I will never forget and how my family wants to ensure her legacy lives on. I also share information provided by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on the dangers and warnings about the drug Fentanyl.  While I understand that this podcast may not be for everyone, and it may be tough to listen to, the Fentanyl pandemic is real. I believe in the power of education and believe that there is no better time than now to start being more proactive with educating yourself and teaching your students/children about how lethal and easily accessible illegal drugs have and will continue to become. It only takes #halfofapill or less to take the life of someone you love. I encourage you to listen, learn and share this episode with those you know. Thank you for continuing to let Jaydynn's Light shine.
