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

Dear Mrs. Murphy,
I am a grieving mother who is advocating for all those beautiful souls who were lost
to the drug epidemic and crisis this nation is still facing. I lost my son Timothy, who is
forever 26, to an accidental heroin overdose. Timothy was an amazing young man,
full of extraordinary talents. He lived his life to the fullest and had so much more
potential to give to his family, friends, and to this world. He was an aviation mechanic
pursuing his pilot and inspector’s license. He loved fishing, exploring abandoned
mines, loved being in nature, had an uncanny way with animals, and was an
incredible history enthusiast. The world was his oyster until heroin ended his young
life.
I know you can relate to the need to fight this epidemic, the stigma associated with it,
as well as the need to bolster public awareness that is needed to stop the
continuous loss of lives. Over 3,000 lives were lost in NJ just last year. Would you
assist us in finding a permanent location for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall within
our capitol, or in a prominent location in Trenton? We have created two memorial
Walls. One with photos and one with names. I am including the brochure of virtual
memorial walls, albums, and our awareness campaign. These digital walls and
albums update automatically. We would also like the photos displayed in a 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 the Chinese criminal networks and the Mexican Cartels.
Many are also victims of a fatal disease like cancer. We are using the word “drugism”
for the prejudice towards drug users - like racism.
A group of our New Jersey moms would love to meet with you and work together to
prevent this from happening ever again.
Thank you for your time and attention to this crucial matter.
Sincerely,
Nancy J. Lindstrom
