Dear Mrs. McMaster,<br />

My name is Charles Graham, <strong>and</strong> I am writing to you on behalf of my son Eldon<br />

Graham, a victim of fentanyl poisoning on April 15, 2021.<br />

I ask that you consider supporting an effort under way to erect a memorial in the<br />

capitol building or on the grounds to pay tribute <strong>and</strong> bring attention to the thous<strong>and</strong>s of<br />

deaths attributed to this national tragedy that has taken the precious lives of so many<br />

people here in the state of South Carolina.<br />

My son Eldon was only 21 years old at the time he passed. I have included a picture of<br />

Eldon. Eldon was a good boy, an Eagle Scout, Clemson University student, beloved<br />

son, brother, nephew, gr<strong>and</strong>son, <strong>and</strong> friend.<br />

Words cannot express the loss we all feel. I hope that through our continued efforts we<br />

will be able to make a difference.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Charles R Graham – Lake Wylie, SC<br />

Father of Eldon, forever 21<br />
