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

Dear Governor Maura Healey,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls. I lost my beautiful son,
Justen, who is forever 35. He was poisoned by fentanyl, and we remain devastated. We
loved him beyond imagination. Justen was the kindest and most empathetic person I
have ever known.
I know you have children and grandchildren. Would you 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. I am including
Justen's frame, below.
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. They were all victims of Purdue
Pharma (an American cartel) and many, many others. Now, they are victims of Chinese
and the Mexican Cartels. We are using the word “drugism” for the prejudice toward
drug users - like racism.
A group of Massachusetts families would love to meet with you and work together to
prevent this from happening ever again.
Sincerely,
Linda Cardalino
