Tracy Hack holds a Mother's Day card her daughter made her in high school almost 20 years ago. The morning she received it was going normally. Her daughter gave her the card, and the two planned on going out to breakfast. Tracy left briefly to run an errand before picking her daughter up for the meal. While she was gone, her daughter used heroin and left the house with friends. Tracy said she didn't hear from her for days. Tanner Cole/Butler Eagle
