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

suffering from substance use disorder. Preston worked the program and was on the
right path to getting his life in order at 27 years old. But then, one slip, one mistake
killed him because some murderer put fentanyl in the meth they sold to him. This
murderer, who roams Arkansas as a free man I should add, took from me that which is
most precious to any mother—my son. Preston’s own son, our entire family, and the
world was robbed of what God naturally had given us—love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness. Preston was one of the good ones. He
didn't deserve what happened to him. He loved others more than he loved himself, and
lived by God’s laws, better than he did man’s admittedly, but he never hurt anyone,
except himself. Now I and the rest of his family are broken and shattered just when he
was getting it right.
That’s why I would love to see a Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall in all 50 state capitol
complexes, but especially in Arkansas, to honor our loved ones as victims of the drug
crisis in our nation. Preston, and every other person who has lost their life to fentanyl
and the opioid epidemic, are victims of Purdue Pharma along with the Chinese and
Mexican Cartels. Will you please help the healing by putting up a Memorial Wall in their
honor? Thank you for your consideration.
