City of Revere and SUDHI host annual Candlelight Vigil at Overdose Memorial Park, remembering those lost to drug addiction

Last Saturday evening at Overdose Memorial Park in Beachmont, family and friends gathered to remember loved ones lost to drug addiction. Mayor Patrick Keefe addressed the gathering, offering his and the City of Revere’s sympathies and offered to do whatever is necessary to stop the sale of drugs in the community and take an active role in proving a safe environment for their children to grow up in.

This year the loss of Chris Alba, a strong advocate for rehabilitation and battling drug abuse throughout the community, passed away. Overdose Memorial Park will be renamed in Chris’ honor in the near future.
