Maddy was a young woman of extremes—a soft, kind and gentle heart with a powerful, fierce and stubborn mind. She never quite understood the word, “No”, subsequently she could always open your mind to try and see things her way. She excelled at school, winning a partial scholarship to a university where she planned on being a lawyer. However, from an early age she fought against a smothering internal cloud of depression which led her to substance abuse. At the tender age of 20 in July 2020, she was found by police from an apparent overdose. Her father, JB, talks about his deep love for his daughter and how he is trying to find his way without Maddy in his life.
