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 brother, Sean
Nugent, who is forever 26, on January 5, 2018. He was poisoned by fentanyl, and we
remain devastated. We loved him beyond imagination.
Sean was one of a kind and the funniest person I have ever known. He had a smile that
could light up the darkest room! He was taken from his family and friends entirely too
soon, but most importantly, his two young sons whom he adored more than anything in
this world, will now have to grow up never knowing their daddy.
Would you please assist us in finding a permanent location for a Drug Epidemic
Memorial Wall within our Capitol or another state building in Baton Rouge? We have
created two digital Memorial Walls. One with photos and one with names. I am
including Sean’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
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
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 Louisiana parents would love to meet with you and work together to
prevent this from happening to other families. This epidemic must end now!
Sincerely,
Ashley Nugent
