COVID-19 Memorial Service honors dead

For 109 families in Hamblen County, life will never be the same.
That is how many have died in the county so far from COVID-19 since last March when the disease hit the United States.
Tuesday, those 109 lives were honored with a COVID-19 memorial service on the lawn of the Hamblen County Courthouse. There were 109 chairs set up, one for each person who was claimed by this disease. Most chairs had a luminaria with either the name of that person all the way to those that had “brother,” “sister” or “mother” for those who didn’t want to use names.
It was irony that the memorial was held on the day that deaths went past the 400,000 mark from COVID-19. At 5:30 p.m., church bells from nearby churches could be heard tolling for the dead.
