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

I am an ambassador for the <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I lost my beautiful<br />

<strong>and</strong> talented daughter, Lyric “Bebop” Verrett, on 4/13/22 to a fentanyl poisoning.<br />

Our hearts are completely broken, <strong>and</strong> I miss her every second of my life. Lyric<br />

was a vibrant <strong>and</strong> talented artist. The whole world lost something when my sweet<br />

daughter was poisoned.<br />

I know you have children <strong>and</strong> gr<strong>and</strong>children. Would you assist us in finding a<br />

permanent location for a <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic Memorial Wall within our capital? We<br />

have created two memorial walls: one with photos <strong>and</strong> one with names. These<br />

digital walls <strong>and</strong> albums update automatically. We would also like the photos<br />

displayed in hard copy format. The wall of names can be projected on a wall so<br />

parents can touch their loved one’s name. They were all victims of this horrible<br />

fentanyl epidemic. They all deserved to live another day. They didn’t want to die.<br />

I would love to meet with you <strong>and</strong> other Louisiana moms to share our stories with<br />

you <strong>and</strong> see how we can help so no other mother has to feel our pain.<br />

Thank you for your time,<br />

Casey Leleux, Mom of Lyric Verrett - forever 21<br />

Lafayette, Louisiana<br />
