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

My name is Rebekah Brown. I am a mom who lost her 18-year-old son, Cole Brown, to<br />

a fake Percocet that was laced with fentanyl. I am writing to you, not only as a mother,<br />

but as a member <strong>and</strong> supporter of The <strong>First</strong> Ladies’ <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic Memorial Wall<br />

campaign in Oklahoma. Our goal is to have a <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic Memorial Wall put up in<br />

all 50 State Capitol complexes to honor our loved ones as victims of this drug crisis in<br />

our Nation. We are asking for your help to make this happen in Oklahoma.<br />

My son was stolen away, poisoned, <strong>and</strong> deceived on September 2, 2021, the worst day<br />

of my life. Who was my son? He was an amazing person. Anyone who called him a<br />

friend was truly blessed. He would give the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was<br />

very soft-hearted <strong>and</strong> the kindest, most caring person you could ever meet. He loved<br />

his family, <strong>and</strong> we loved him. He had just graduated high school <strong>and</strong> was going to<br />

enroll in the electrical apprenticeship here in Tulsa.<br />

He had so many plans <strong>and</strong> lots of life left ahead of him when it was all cut short by one<br />

fake Percocet that was full of fentanyl. He made one mistake, <strong>and</strong> it took his life away<br />

from him <strong>and</strong> our family! He is greatly missed every single day by his family <strong>and</strong><br />

friends. Our lives will never be the same since his death. 18 years just wasn’t enough.<br />

Thank you for your consideration in helping us honor our children <strong>and</strong> our loved ones<br />

that have lost their lives to this poison, <strong>and</strong> for helping us to make this wall happen here<br />

in Oklahoma in their memory.<br />

Rebekah Brown – Cole’s mom; forever 18<br />
