Sid Vicious (born John Simon Ritchie; 10 May 1957 – 2 February 1979) was an English punk rock musician, who played bass guitar for the Sex Pistols
On February 2, 1979, a small gathering to celebrate his bail was held at the home of his new girlfriend, Michelle Robinson, with whom he'd started living the day he got out of Bellevue Hospital the previous October. Ritchie was clean, having been weaned off heroin during his time at Rikers Island jail. However, at the dinner gathering, he obtained some heroin and that night he overdosed. Robinson revived him. Much later that night, the couple fell asleep together. Vicious was discovered dead the next morning. As New York Chief Coroner Michael Baden explained at the time, when a person has a heroin overdose, and then falls asleep, their heart slows with every REM phase. Sid Vicious died at around 10:00 a.m., after the repeated REM phases throughout the night. Forensic experts subsequently found the heroin was 80 percent pure, as opposed to the 5 percent that was normal for the time and in that area, and because he had not been using since October his tolerance was greatly lowered. On HBO's Autopsy: Post Mortem, Dr. Baden claims Vicious' lungs were filled with fluid and water, which is common for someone who has overdosed on heroin. Ultimately, Vicious drowned in his own fluids.

ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥ The day you left broke our hearts and the tears fell like rain, but knowing that you now have wings helps to ease the pain. ♥ღ♥ We know now when the snow falls it is Angel dust from you and when we see a shooting star our Angel just passed through. ♥ღ♥ The rain drops do not make us sad for they are not tears, but sprinkles of love falling down, our Angel again is near. ♥ღ♥ The winter cold has even changed, Jack Frost no longer exists, it's now a visit from our Angel and he's left a special gift. ♥ღ♥ You also visit in the night, your wings flutter with grace, we know now when we awaken that an Angel has kissed our face. ♥ღ♥ When the days are warm and bright and the sun shines from above, we feel the warmth wrap around us, you've given an Angel hug. ♥ღ♥ You are with us at all times, every day and night, you try to end the pain we have and the tears that we still cry. ♥ღ♥ Though Heaven is your home now and Angel wings you wear, you stay close to those you love, until they join you there..
A rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed
swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...
One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side
Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.
