Dear <strong>First</strong> <strong>Lady</strong> Sharon L<strong>and</strong>ry,<br />

My name is Brittani Scroggins. I am the daughter of Elizabeth Bourgeois, an<br />

ambassador for the <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic Memorial Wall. I lost my sister, Jessica<br />

Scroggins, at age 30. She was poisoned by fentanyl, <strong>and</strong> we remain devastated.<br />

We loved her beyond imagination. Jessica was the kindest <strong>and</strong> most empathetic<br />

person I have ever known. She was an animal lover <strong>and</strong> Lego enthusiast who<br />

cared deeply for those she loved.<br />

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

Memorial Wall within our capital or another state building in Baton Rouge? We<br />

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

am including Jessica’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 capital.<br />

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

broken system. Many suffered from addiction, <strong>and</strong> due to the ignorance <strong>and</strong><br />

prejudice associated with this disease, they were unable to access the treatment<br />

they needed.<br />

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

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

Sincerely,<br />

Brittani Scroggins<br />

Baton Rouge, Louisiana<br />
