USA First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff

Dear First Partner Siebel Newsom,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I am one of many
mothers writing to you from the Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall. I lost my youngest
son Augustus needlessly to fentanyl poisoning on 9/17/2020. He is forever 31. His
death shocked family and friends and broke my heart. He was kind, considerate,
and extraordinarily talented. His skills and generosity are legend. His 4 brothers
and 2 sisters and friends are devastated. We were robbed of ever seeing him marry,
have children, and grow old. Our grieving never ends.
I know you and Governor Newsom have 4 lovely children. I am sure you cannot
imagine losing one of them. Kindly help us find a permanent place for a Drug
Epidemic Memorial Wall at the Capitol. We have created two memorial walls. One
with photos and one with names. I am including Augustus' frame below. I am also
including the brochure of virtual memorial walls, albums, and our awareness
campaign.
These digital walls and albums update automatically. We would also like the photos
displayed in hard copy format. The wall of names can be projected on a wall so
families can touch their loved one's name. We would like our loved ones to be
treated like victims. They were all victims of Purdue Pharma (an American cartel)
and many others. Now, they are victims of Chinese and the Mexican Cartels. We
are using the word “drugism” for the prejudice toward drug users - like racism.
A group of our California moms would love to meet with you and work together to
prevent this from
happening ever again.
Sincerely,
Yvonne Lapp-Cryns Laing
