The Enterprise — Michael Koff

Remembering those who were lost to addiction, Kristen Smith-Hoin, left, and her grandchildren (Smith’s two youngest kids, Caden and Anthony Smith, along with stepdaughter Tahti Houze) release pink balloons in honor of Summer Smith. A Guilderland High School graduate, Smith died of a drug overdose on Jan. 9, 2015. She was 31. Smith-Hoin organized, and ran in, the inaugural 5K race in Smith’s honor, to keep her legacy alive and to work towards ending the stigma that often comes with drug addiction.
