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

Dear First Lady Fran DeWine,
Let me start off by introducing my son, Landen Lewis McCormick. He is my youngest of
four children. He was a handsome teen, loved life, family and friends. He enjoyed his
music, video games, basketball and his passion was football. We lost our precious son to
fentanyl poisoning on December 3, 2022, that is a phone call no parent should ever
receive. The pill he took had markings of oxycontin. When tested there was no oxycontin
in the pill, only fentanyl. Now my son is in a box (urn) on a shelf in our home. Landen is
Forever 17.
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Walls. We loved (LOVE) him
beyond imagination. Landen was the kindest and most empathetic person I have ever
known, he had (has) a heart of gold.
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 Landen's frame.
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 families
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 others. Now, they are victims of Chinese and
Mexican cartels. Many are also victims of fatal diseases like cancer. We are using the
word "drugism" for the prejudice toward drug users ~ like racism.
A group of our Ohio moms would love to meet with you and work together to prevent this
from happening ever again.
Sincerely,
Tina McCormick
Spencerville, OH
