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

Dear First Lady Sharon Landry,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall. I lost my son, Parker B.
Prince, who is forever 25 years old, on 7/8/19. He we poisoned by fentanyl, and we
remain devastated. We loved him beyond imagination. Parker was a kick! He was
funny, kind, and the most empathetic person I have ever known. He was a joy!
He came to us saying he had a monkey on his back. After two surgeries and years of
opiates, his brain was dope sick. He went to rehab and thought he beat it, but it beat
him!
Would you please assist us in finding a permanent location for a Drug Epidemic
Memorial Wall within our capital or another state building in Baton Rouge? We have
created two digital memorial walls: one with photos and one with names. These digital
walls and albums update automatically. We would also like the photos to be
permanently displayed in hard copy format in our capital.
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
Mexican cartels. Many are 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 Louisiana parents would love to meet with you and work together to help
prevent this from happening to other families.
Sincerely,
Shannon McGuire Prince, Parker’s mom
New Orleans, Louisiana
