Dear <strong>First</strong> <strong>Lady</strong> Maria Lee,<br />

My name is Lexxus Yancey, <strong>and</strong> I lost my father last year at the end of October to fentanyl<br />

poisoning. My dad was my best friend. We would spend almost every day together.<br />

The day he overdosed he had just met a woman for the first time <strong>and</strong> asked her if she<br />

needed a ride. We have discovered that he knew this woman less than 24 hours. If he<br />

had not been kind to her <strong>and</strong> offered to give her a ride, then he would not be dead. I had<br />

to discover all this information on my own. The Murfreesboro Police Department treated<br />

my dad's death as if it didn't matter <strong>and</strong> just assumed he was a drug addict. They would<br />

not listen to me <strong>and</strong> had me questioning things about someone whom I know <strong>and</strong> love<br />

very well. It is still an active investigation, so we will see if anyone ever must take<br />

responsibility for it.<br />

I am writing to you in hopes that you can help with our campaign to have Memorial Walls<br />

put up in all 50 state Capitols to honor our loved ones lost to the fentanyl epidemic.<br />

My father's death has destroyed me. I have not been able to hold down a full-time job<br />

after having had the same job for almost four years. I have trouble focusing on things, <strong>and</strong><br />

I find myself crying every day. I have lost multiple friends to this poison, all under the age<br />

of 28, <strong>and</strong> now my father at the age of 52. Fentanyl does not discriminate against anyone.<br />

Will you please say yes to keeping my friends’ <strong>and</strong> my father’s memory alive?<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Lexxus Yancey – Billy’s daughter; forever 52<br />

Murfreesboro, Tennessee<br />
