Dear <strong>First</strong> <strong>Lady</strong> Casey DeSantis,<br />

I am an ambassador for the <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic Memorial Wall. I lost my only daughter,<br />

Lisa Marie Serignese, who is forever 27 years of age. She was poisoned by fentanyl<br />

<strong>and</strong> my family, <strong>and</strong> her friends remain devastated. We loved her deeply <strong>and</strong> our loss<br />

is profound.<br />

Lisa was the kindest <strong>and</strong> most empathetic person I have ever known. She wanted<br />

to help others, go to college, write poetry, dance, <strong>and</strong> travel. Lisa was gentle, sweet,<br />

loyal, <strong>and</strong> loved life. She wanted to live <strong>and</strong> enjoy her life!<br />

Would you please assist us in finding a permanent location for a <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic<br />

Memorial Wall within our Capitol or another State Building in Florida? We have<br />

created two digital Memorial Walls. One with photos <strong>and</strong> one with names. I am<br />

including Lisa Marie’s frame, below. These digital walls <strong>and</strong> albums update<br />

automatically. We would also like the photos displayed permanently in hard copy<br />

format in our State Capitol.<br />

We would like our loved ones to be treated like victims. They were all victims of the<br />

Pharmaceutical Industry <strong>and</strong> many others. Now, they are victims of China, India,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Mexican Cartels. Many were victims of a deadly condition called substance<br />

use disorder. We are using the word “drugism” for the judgment toward people with<br />

SUD.<br />

A group of our Florida parents would love to meet with you <strong>and</strong> work together to<br />

prevent this from happening to other families.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Therese Serignese,<br />

Mother of Lisa Marie Serignese<br />

Boca Raton, Palm Beach, FL<br />
