Dear <strong>First</strong> <strong>Lady</strong> Janet Holcomb,<br />

I am an ambassador for the <strong>Dr</strong>ug Memorial Wall. I lost my h<strong>and</strong>some son on January<br />

12, 2018, at the age of forever 41.I found him face down on his bedroom floor that<br />

morning with no pulse due to fentanyl poisoning.<br />

The authorities knew where he was the night before <strong>and</strong> the girl’s name, but just said<br />

she was a bad seed <strong>and</strong> there was never an investigation. They took his phone but<br />

said there was no information on it <strong>and</strong> everything was deleted! JC was such a sweet<br />

<strong>and</strong> kind soul. He always wanted to give away things to the neighbor kids when he was<br />

growing up. He loved the outdoors <strong>and</strong> loved fishing. He never married nor had any<br />

children.<br />

It is unbearable at times the pain of losing a child. I have received more support from<br />

friends than family which I don’t underst<strong>and</strong> but am grateful for such good friends.<br />

So many kids are dying from fentanyl poisoning every day <strong>and</strong> it needs to stop.<br />

I know you are an Advocate of education of youth <strong>and</strong> encouraging them to try new<br />

things. The <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic is halting that ability for 108,000 people between the ages<br />

of 18-45 each year. There is an urgency I <strong>and</strong> countless other mothers in Indiana feel<br />

towards ending this epidemic <strong>and</strong> educating our children of the dangers presented to<br />

them daily.<br />

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

to a significant building within our Capitol? We have created two memorial walls. One<br />

with photos <strong>and</strong> one with names. These digital walls <strong>and</strong> albums update automatically.<br />

We would also like the photos displayed in hard copy format. The wall of names can be<br />

projected so parents can touch their loved one’s names. We would like our loved ones<br />

to be treated like victims. They were all victims of the cartel.<br />

A group of Indiana moms would love to meet with you <strong>and</strong> work together to keep this<br />

from happening ever again.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Peggy S<strong>and</strong>ers, mother of JC Calhoun forever 41<br />

North Vernon, IN<br />
