💬 Paula B.: She wanted to be an actress and would have been an excellent one. I remember one day she told me there was a movie being filmed in Seattle and was off to audition. Being a free-spirited individual somehow she was sidetracked and ended up breaking a bone. Looking back, I wish I'd had the power to get her safely there, or at least tried. But alas, I was also a free young spirit”.
💬 Terri Mclaury: “I met Demri in Seattle and gave her that hat she’s wearing (note: a similar one most likely since this photo was taken in Jacksonville, FL in 1986). I had a hat exactly like that down in Seattle when I first met her in the 90’s. She was in the bar, Alice In Chains on stage practicing. I remember her smile when I put it on her head. I actually got the hat as a gift because I always wanted one but my head and hair is too big for sailor hats. She was the sweetest, kindest, open and friendly to me – a stranger that just walked into the club. Wanted to be my friend. I only knew her briefly but she was very nice.”
