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

Dear First Lady Dawn Moore,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I lost my beautiful daughter,
Lana Gibson, on October 16, 2021 (she lived in Shadyside, Md.). She left behind 2
beautiful children, Mia, 16 years old and Eli, 14 years old and her loving family. You just
cannot imagine the pain and grief we suffer every day. She will be forever “33”. She was
poisoned by fentanyl, intentionally, and we remain devastated. We loved her beyond
imagination.
Lana was the kindest, most caring and loving person and especially to her two children.
Her teacher from elementary school who she stayed in contact with told me at her funeral,
everyone should “Love like Lana”. That’s the kind of woman she was. That is my
daughter’s legacy is to “love like her”.
I know you have children, and I am asking you to assist us in finding a permanent location
for a Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall within our Capitol? We have created two Memorial
Walls. One with photos and one with names. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) in
Arlington, Va. has created a wall in their museum with 1,000’s of pictures of all these
beautiful young people poisoned by fentanyl. I am including Lana’s frame below displayed
at the DEA museum. These digital walls and albums update automatically. We would also
like the photos displayed in hard copy format. The wall of names can be projected on a
wall so parents can touch their loved one’s name. We would like our loved ones to be
treated like VICTIMS and they are! They were all victims of Purdue Pharma (an American
cartel) and many, many others. Now, they are victims of the Chinese and the Mexican
cartels. We are using the word “drugism” for the prejudice toward drug users - like racism.
A group of our Maryland Moms would love to meet with you and work together to prevent
this from happening ever again! Please help our children.
Sincerely,
Mela Davis
