Dear Mrs. McMaster,<br />

My name is Regina Reed, <strong>and</strong> I am an ambassador for the <strong>Dr</strong>ug Epidemic Memorial<br />

Walls. I lost my daughter Alexis Caterra Reed Pantonial on May 4, 2022. Alexis was 23<br />

years old <strong>and</strong> a mother of two. Her kids are now 5 years old <strong>and</strong> 3 years old. Alex<strong>and</strong>er<br />

her oldest talks about his mommy all the time. Alexis loved her children very much. It is so<br />

unfair that they have to grow up without their mom. Alexis was taken to the hospital by<br />

someone she knew but lied about knowing her. There is still an open case about what<br />

happened that day. We will probably never know. Alexis is missed dearly by so many<br />

friends <strong>and</strong> family members.<br />

I am asking that you help us honor our children in finding a permanent wall near the<br />

capital for their plaque photos. We currently have a virtual wall, <strong>and</strong> they are also creating<br />

a banner with all the names for each state. In honor of our children, they truly do deserve<br />

this it will not only bring honor to them, but it will bring awareness to those around us.<br />

There have to be changes to save our future of family <strong>and</strong> friends. If you could please<br />

work together <strong>and</strong> meet with us so that we can discuss further education <strong>and</strong> awareness<br />

for this horrible drug. Fentanyl is being used in so many things today <strong>and</strong> given to our<br />

children. We speak daily about our kids, <strong>and</strong> we want to stop the spread of fentanyl.<br />

Thank you for taking the time to read our letters. We look forward to meeting you in the<br />

near future.<br />

Regina Reed – Columbia, SC<br />

Mom of Alexis, forever 23<br />
