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

My name is Stephanie Fisher, <strong>and</strong> Daniel Fisher was my first-born son. He was a<br />

country boy who loved to fish, ride through the mountains, play basketball <strong>and</strong> had a<br />

passion for animals of all kinds. Daniel started working part time in high school at<br />

Staples but had plans of going to school to be an electrician.<br />

He was engaged to be married to his high school sweetheart in two weeks on the<br />

beach in Destin, Florida. She was expecting their first baby. She was four months<br />

pregnant at the time that he was poisoned. Daniel would never know he was having a<br />

little girl, but he held that first ultrasound picture of Lilly in his billfold proudly. On one<br />

side was his baby, <strong>and</strong> on the other side was a picture of his beautiful bride to be.<br />

Daniel had been involved in a fender bender that day. I will never know who sold him<br />

the fake oxycodone that turned out to be fentanyl. The detective told me that because<br />

he wasn't stabbed or shot, they couldn't really charge anyone for poisoning him<br />

because he asked for it. “You play, you pay”! My son was a good boy, <strong>and</strong> he never<br />

asked for fentanyl poison.<br />

Regardless of anyone's judgement on him from an outsider, I knew my son better than<br />

anyone. What haunts me even more than not getting justice for him is knowing that the<br />

person who killed him was free to kill many more. Our lives have been forever<br />

changed, turned inside out, upside down, <strong>and</strong> shaken to the core. I will spend the rest<br />

of my life trying to warn others about fentanyl poisonings.<br />

Please help us memorialize our lost loved ones with a Memorial Wall.<br />

Thank you,<br />

Stephanie Fisher – Daniel’s mom; forever 21<br />
