NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Shannon Prince lost her only child to an accidental overdose in 2019. Parker was only 25 and addicted to opioids.
“You don’t expect to lose your children before you go,” Prince said. ”He was a social genius. He had so many friends. He was so sweet and he and I were really, really close and I miss him so much.”
She lost him to the disease of addiction.
