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

Dear First Lady Sarah Stitt,
Our Jillian was a funny, full of life, beautiful girl who brought much joy to our family. She
loved her family and friends and had a beautiful singing voice. Jillian was the fourth out of
five children and has two brothers and two sisters.
Jillian thought she was never popular enough when she went to middle school, so she
started smoking weed with friends. Shortly after, Jillian had a root canal and was
prescribed opiates. When her prescription ran out, her boyfriend, that was older than her,
introduced her to heroin for the first time.
Our sweet girl struggled with getting clean. She tried so many times for four years.
On March 21, 2018, Jillian’s younger sister and I found her in her room unresponsive from
an accidental heroin overdose.
The person who sold her the heroin that took her life has been charged with her murder. It
doesn’t bring our sweet Jillian back, but justice will be served, and he will never destroy
another family.
On behalf of our family, will you please help us get a Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall put up
to honor our lost loved ones to this opioid crisis?
Thank you for your consideration,
Diane Klaus Searle – Jillian’s mom; forever 19
