“Demri was an artist herself, a model and someone who could always make you laugh. She was the type of person who when she entered a room full of people all eyes would be on her. She sucked the energy from the room and then blasted it back out at you and made you laugh and smile. She was so different than everyone else and everyone knew it who met her. Geeky, funny, caring, talented and unique girl who could of owned the world if she had not got caught up in what was going on around her. She was a star in her own right.” – Barbara Dearaujo.

“Demri loved everyone. And was loved in return. It was her nature. She was always that way even as a toddler. When fame touched Layne Demri’s loving nature was taken advantage of. Dem had gifts, she was not tortured, she was a very old soul. She did not come here to learn any lessons, she came to teach. She taught unconditional love and from what I can tell she continues to do so. She was fun to be around, she was hilarious at times. Aglow with love for everyone around her. Her concern for others was far beyond her concern for herself. Demri was totally uninhibited. She would approach strangers, ‘Hi, I’m Demri, what’s your name?’. We thought alike in many ways, could communicate with our eyes, no words needed. However I was never as free or confident. As my dad said, ‘She was one of a kind’. She always loved old folks, children and people most would find a little off-center. Demri’s ability to leave people she encountered feeling special was one of her gifts." – Kathleen Austin

“More than anything, I am so sad that Layne and Demri were good people and had to go through such sorrow, life could be so different and wonderful for them now. I remember when Demri died people were using the phrase, ‘What a waste’. Kathleen was hurt by that and would say, ‘My daughter’s life wasn’t a waste’. I felt it was a ‘waste’ in that Demri did not get all the great things she deserved back in life. I think we all would have loved to see that happen for her. People think of a drug addict wasting their life away but Demri kept up with me and I do not think she wasted a minute, let alone a second, she just got derailed.” – Amber Ferrano

“I find it so right that even after Demri’s passing she still has that undeniable charismatic spark that still attracts people to her like a magnet in a crazy way even 25-30 years later. Pretty powerful stuff if you ask me. She was loved by many and she will never be forgotten by those who knew her and hopefully now by those who only knew of her. I also hope people learn something from her life and from her death, if nothing else to stay away from drugs and to love themselves. To love life and to love people. To smile as much as possible and to laugh even when you want to cry.” – Barbara Dearaujo.
