TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â 310 crosses are placed on the front lawn of Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Tallahassee. Each cross represents a person in Leon County who died from COVID-19.
Sunday marked one year since the first COVID-19 related death in the county. The church held a memorial service for those who didn't get the chance to get vaccinated.
Linda Edwards has received the vaccine. She credits the Statewide Coronavirus Vaccination Community Education and Engagement Taskforce led by Rev. R.B. Holmes and former city commissioner Elaine Bryant for getting people vaccinated, but adds more lives need to be saved lives.
