Marquan Quinn wasn't sure what his plans were for Christmas. Celebrating the holiday really wasn't on his mind.
"I guess I'm going to just ask a few friends over to hang out," 18-year-old Marquan said on a somber Christmas Eve. "My mom always handled Christmas. It was her thing.
"My mom wrapped every gift. She handled all the cooking. It was one of her favorite things, and she always looked forward to Christmas. I just really have no idea what we are going to do."
Marquan's mom didn't live long enough to see Christmas this year. Seretha Quinn died Monday, Dec. 21, at the age of 46. She spent the better part of a month in University of Iowa Hospital battling COVID-19.
