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 have lost three children to
opioids. This letter is about my daughter, Danielle Marie McAlister.
On July 3, 2021, my beautiful daughter Danielle’s life ended when she was poisoned by
heroin laced with fentanyl after a grueling fifteen-year battle with addiction. Danielle
was beautiful inside and out. Danielle was tender-hearted, sensitive, and deeply caring.
Even as a young child, she was extremely protective of the underdogs in her classes.
Drugs stole everything from her. Danielle’s tragic death left her two children, Anthony,
and Brianna devastated and without their mother here on this planet.
We need your help! Please assist us in finding a permanent location for a Drug
Epidemic Memorial Wall within our Capitol, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, or in another
Louisiana State building. We want photos of our loved ones permanently displayed. Our
children’s lives mattered. Their deaths matter. They deserve to be treated like victims,
for each of them was a victim of the Pharmaceutical Industry and those murdered by
the evil poisoning that is fentanyl are victims at the hands of drug dealers, the cartel,
and China and Mexico.
A group of Louisiana parents would like to meet with you and work together to prevent
this hell on earth that is child death from drugs from happening to other families. We
need your help and pray that you will consider our request.
God bless you,
Pamela Riviere-Rivas,
Mother of Danielle Marie McAlister, forever 37.
