Dear <strong>First</strong> <strong>Lady</strong> Sarah Stitt,<br />

My name is Natasha Williams. I now reside in Dallas, Texas, but I lost my sister,<br />

Doretta, in Lawton, Oklahoma on June 12, 2020, from fentanyl poisoning.<br />

My sister was a mother, a sister, a daughter, <strong>and</strong> a friend. She was caring,<br />

compassionate, creative, <strong>and</strong> could brighten up a room. She was funny, blunt, <strong>and</strong> had<br />

a confident <strong>and</strong> powerful presence. Her energy was contagious.<br />

She left behind five children, four daughters <strong>and</strong> one son. My sister <strong>and</strong> I were very<br />

close <strong>and</strong> always took care of each other. I find myself now in a position where I am<br />

being put to the ultimate test of love <strong>and</strong> loyalty, as I have taken in all five of her<br />

children, my nieces <strong>and</strong> nephews. I was a single mother with one child prior to her<br />

death. I now have a house full of children under my care because she was taken from<br />

us by deception. She didn’t want to die. She adored her children <strong>and</strong> her family <strong>and</strong><br />

would never have left them or us, if she had had a say. Sadly, she trusted when she<br />

shouldn’t have. The price for that was her life, <strong>and</strong> now five children will grow up<br />

without their mother.<br />

Fentanyl poisoning is destroying our State, <strong>and</strong> this Country, one fatality at a time. It<br />

does not discriminate. Doretta is proof that it can happen to anyone.<br />

Please help us with our <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic Memorial Wall so we can honor our lost loved<br />

ones.<br />

Thank you,<br />

Natasha Williams – Doretta’s sister; forever 37<br />

Dallas, Texas<br />
