USA First Lady Dr. Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff

Dear First Lady Cathy Justice,
I am an ambassador for the Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall. We lost our beloved and
amazing son,
Stuart Taylor, who is forever 17. He was poisoned by illicit fentanyl in October, 2022. We
are still numb from his death and our whole family remains devastated. Stuart was loved
and cherished by his parents, brothers, sisters, extended family, and friends. There
were many West Virginians who helped Stuart, as we tried to guide him through his
teenage years. Social workers, judges, probation officers, police officers, teachers,
counselors, nurse practitioners, psychologists, doctors, nurses, and others. Stuart was
just seeing what his life could be without drugs when his life was taken. He was so, so
close to getting through to a life without drugs. He could have done anything!
Would you assist us in finding a permanent location for a Drug Epidemic Memorial Wall
within our capital? We have created two memorial walls. One with photos and one with
names. I am including Stuart’s memorial frame below. These digital photos and displays
will upload automatically. The wall of names can be projected so families can touch their
child’s name. We would like our loved ones to be recognized as victims. They were all
victims of Purdue Pharma and others. Now, they are victims of China, India, and the
Mexican cartels.
A group of West Virginia parents would like to meet with you and work together to
prevent this from happening to our most precious resource in West Virginia, our
children.
Sincerely yours,
Emily and Stephen Taylor
Berkeley Springs, West Virginia
