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

Dear First Lady Janet Holcomb,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall. I lost my sibling. Jake
Smith, who is forever 40. He was poisoned by fentanyl and we remain devastated.
We loved Jake beyond imagination.
Jake was the kindest and most empathetic person I have ever known. He was so
handsome and always lit up the room. Jake was always fun and very funny!
Would you please assist us in finding a permanent location for a Drug Epidemic
Memorial Wall within our Capitol or another State Building in Indianapolis?
We have created two digital Memorial Walls. One with photos and one with names. I
am including Jake’s frame, below. These digital walls and albums update
automatically. We would also like the photos displayed permanently in hard copy
format in our State Capitol.
We would like our loved ones to be treated like victims. They were all victims of the
Pharmaceutical Industry and many others. Now, they are victims of China, India and
the Mexican Cartels. Many were victims of a deadly condition called Substance Use
Disorder. We are using the word “drugism” for the judgment toward people with
SUD.
A group of our Indiana parents would love to meet with you and work together to
prevent this from happening to other families.
Sincerely,
Megan Norris, sister, and Jan Wroten, mom
