Mayors from at least 25 cities have ordered people off the streets as looters, fires, and protests continue to grow. We are a nation in pain. This hour, we will attempt to process some of that suffering together as the fires continue to burn. At night this week, of course, we are marking a terrible milestone, the coronavirus has killed more than 100,000 americans. You know, that can feel like just another number in a sea of dehumanizing data. So today were hoping to try to bring the humanity back. We want to honor the sons and daughters, the mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, the favorite teachers, the beloved nurses who we all have lost to this horrible virus. For the next hour, were going to bring you prayer and words, hopefully, of comfort from religious leaders. Well have music from the harlem gospel choir and the brighamyoung a cappella group. Well bring you stories of the wonderful people the United States has lost to this terrible virus. People you may have heard of before, such as William Roosevelt german, the former white house butler who served 11 president s and died at the age of 91, and people whose lives were just beginning, really, such as conrad buchanan, a 39yearold dj from fort myers, florida who loved dancing with his daughter. Death is always difficult, but grieving without the ability to safely hug your extended family or hold a friends hand, thats a lonely pain. Im jewish and in our faith, we have a tradition to surround the mourners with members of the community through a process called shiva. Judaism requires ten people recite the mourners prayer. It ensures the grieving family is sheeldom alone in the first week after the first loss. A requirement near impossible for many yous to follow now. For catholics in more normal times may have found strength from the community that gathers for vigils or the funeral mass, they, too, have been robbed of that sacred experience. Of celebrating a life well lived together sharing stories about their loved ones. So whether youre muslim, evangelical, quaker, mormon, atheist, whatever. Your personal grieving process might have been the Novel Coronavirus surely made that more painful. More isolated. Because whatever your faith, Community Carries us through insurmountable grief as were social distancing away from each other, we hope this National Memorial is a way we can still create something of a community for you. Over the next hour, well honor some of the lives cut short and we will try to come together as one American Family united in grief, stronger together. I want to start by bringing in russell moore, the president of the ethics and religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist convention. He joins me now. Thank you so much for joining us. Youve been ministering to covid victims and their survivors. What have they found most challenging about dealing with this disease . What have you told them . Well, i think one of the most challenging is what you mentioned the inability to get together and have funerals. I was struck having lost my grandmother during this time in a nursing home not from covid but covid meant we couldnt gather together to mourn her. He was struck reading thomas lynch who said part of what a funeral does is to tell the story of that person. Thats one of the things that i think the whole nation has lost with 100,000 people dead so far. Often, its easy to see that as a statistic rather than to see each person. As a christian, i believe that jesus good shepard tells us that each sheep is important that he leaves the 99 to go in search of the one. The humanity and the individuality of each person lost is something that the entire nation is missing and, in some ways, the entire miss is overwhelmed by it right now. So what i am seeking and you say go ahead. Im sorry. Im seeking to say the gospel doesnt hide the dark side of life. As a matter of fact, today is for Christians Pentecost and the holy spirit would pour out one of the things the scripture does is to mourn. To groan sometimes with utterances too deep for words, the bible says. I think many people are feeling that sense of grief its hard to describe and to put into words. Beyond that, i believe theres hope that what we have waiting is a promise that life is stronger than death and that love is stronger than death. As christian, thats what im clinging to now. So you say that many in your community have struggled and continue to struggle with the fact they cant come together for physical services in church because of the desire to not create an area where the virus can spread even further. How do you help them through that . What do you think religious services will look like when, at some point, we hopefully are able to put the pandemic behind us . I think what you see now is a sense of we know what were missing. There are people who are really longing for the sort of connection that comes together with worshipping with one another. With singing hymns with one another. So i think theres some things we took for granted for a long time that we wont take for granted for long. Ive heard many people say i just cant wait to be in Church Singing and to hug people again. One woman told me i dont think im going to let go of that first hug in a Church Service for a long time. I think there are many people feeling that now. A common refrain throughout the crisis has been were in this together. But, you know, to be honest, weve seen the outbreak bring not only the best in us but some of the worst. What do you think the ultimate impact of this pandemic will be . Will it drive us apart, as so many things do in America Today . Will we be bound together even closer . Well, i think we have a choice in front of us of life or death. I think it can do either one. I think that we can allow this opportunity to put us at odds with one another and to tear away from one another and against each other, or we can allow us this for the moment to remind ourselves of the frajty of life. To remind ourselves that life is but of a labor, as the scripture said, and many of the things we previously may have thought mattered just dont matter and the things we may have taken for granted really do so i hope that its the latter. And i see many signs of that. I mean, even with the horror we see all over the country, we see a fracturing social order, we see so much wreckage, but we also see signs of hope and of people who are caring for one another. Even Hospital Chaplains who are communicating by facetime and skype with people who are dying. Communities coming together and ministering to those who are sick. I think thats a sign of hope. Before we move on, dr. Moore, we would be grateful if you can lead us in a moment of prayer for all those who we have lost. Absolutely. Let us pray. Lord, i know there are Many Americans who are walking through the valley of the shadow of death, and many who are hopeless. Many who are lonely. Many who are thinking of the names and faces of those theyve lost, and, lord, we pray now you would allow us to mourn even separately to mourn and also that you would give comfort. We pray, father, you would remind us that the light has come into the darkness and the darkness has not the darkness cannot the darkness will not overcome it. Were of many faiths now, but i come to you as a follower of jesus christ and we ask you hear our prayer. Amen. Dr. Russell moore, thank you so much. Stay with us as we continue to honor those weve lost to the pandemic. Ill be speaking with a nationally renowned rabbi about other faith leaders how we process such a loss. Well have an inspirational performance from the harlem choir. Well bring you special tributes from the people who know aknew and loved of the more than 100,000 victims of covid19. People such as a devoted husband of more than 50 years remembered by his wife or a veteran whose memory will be held on to tightly by his daughter. James william chucky means jr. And i were married for 53 years. We had a beautiful relationship full of excitement and a lot of living he passed away on april 7th due to coronavirus. May his soul rest in peace. He loved to talk. They enjoyed his intelligence because he could talk about anything. I like to refer to him as an unintentional educator. No matter where he went, people listened to what it was he had to say. If you wanted his advice, information, or knowledge, he was happy to give it. Im a barber and, umm, when i first started going to barber college, he was my first shave. I messed it up so bad i wanted to quit. He was like, no, we dont do quitting. Get up at 0600 every morning and give me a shave until you get it right. Weve been married for 53 years and he was a workaholic. I told him you owe me fridays. It was the date day until he passed. We would go to the movies and always take me out to eat, which i love to do. Hes my best friend. Im grieving along with hundreds of thousanded of American Families over the loss of a loved one to covid19. A loved one we would could not be with at the time of their death and we could not plan a proper funeral for. Im grieving over the loss of my father cliffton dougherty. He died in minneapolis. I love you, pop. Ill never forget you. My brother and i said he had way more than nine lives. We never thought anything would get him. Even when he was diagnosed with this, my brother jay said, its not going to get him nothing gets him he makes it through everything. And i thought maybe but this is different. This is different. And with his preexisting conditions, especially copd, it was a fight he couldnt win. An hour after he died, they did the procession of honor. Minnesota Veterans Home present it was very touching. It was sad because his friends couldnt gather but it was nice to see, you know, the care givers wearing masks, 6 feet apart but to give him the sendoff. Especially now. I was very, very touched by it. Just a great guy and hell be missed. My name is christi pane an associate here at amazon. Good stay safe, man. This device is giving us an Accurate Temperature check.

Two years later i was cast in his new play. Its the play that put me on the map. It changed my life as an actor forever. All due to terrences brilliance. We went on to have a 30year collaboration. Rather unique in the fickle world of the theater. He gave me some of the best and important roles of my career. I will phone forever be in his debt. It seems inconceivable im talking about him in the past tense that hes not here, but, of course, he is here. Hell always be here. In the plays, in the musicals, a operas, the eloquent and moving speeches he gave, in the love and kindness he agagenerously shared. He was a giant in the american theater. A huge hero to the lgbtq community. An openly gay writer way before it became fashionable. He was able to consistently reinvent himself. Its been gratifying to see the enormous outpouring of love and respect for terrence and his incredible body of work over the past couple of months. He would be pleased and touched. As maria said at the end of master class. The older i get, the less i know but im certain that what we do matters. If i didnt believe that. Believe me, terrence mattered. A lot. My name is scott stringer. Im a krocontroller new york ci. Im honoring my more mom arlene stringerkuevas she was passed away. She raised two boys as a single parent. She ran for office when few women could see that success. She was tough and she loved the city. She believed in government and she raised us to believe in government. This tragedy to happen is so overwhelmingly sad for my family. She was somebody who took me around campaigning when she was running for city council. People would come up to her and say why arent you home taking care of your husband. She said i dont have a husband. They said why dont you take care of your kid . She said i take care of him fine. She came from the era of the Womens Movement back in the day. If you said to me what would ultimately have my father famot fathefathell, i never thought it would be a virus. She has a great story to tell and im going to tell it for the rest of my life. Actor nathan lane honoring Terrence Mcnally. Arlene stringercuevas her life of Public Service remembered by her son. Welcome back to we remember. We are a nation in mourning and this week we sadly add the worst riots in a generation to the pain that the nation is feeling. The United States is on edge. Many people fearing what additional chaos might come again tonight, perhaps. All while we continue to bury the dead from this pandemic, more than 102,000 now. Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church has been bishoping to her community. Were mourning more than 100,000 dead from covid189 a9, and the riots and protests and unease across the country. All of this has been especially painful for the Africanamerican Community facing the challenges. At once the disease is hitting minorities disproportionately. What is your message this morning . Well, jake, thank you. Thank you for the tribute and for remembering the lives of that have already been lost to this Global Pandemic. We are right now in the midst of not one but several pandemics. We have a Global Health pandemic, we have an economic pandemic, and we have an ongoing racial pandemic. What we need to do we focus on the violence, we focus on peaceful protests turning a right to a left with outside agitators coming in trying to create chaos, at the same time were missing the point. Were missing the moment. Were missing the issue. Instead of focussing on the outgrowth of policy and practice, lets figure out how were bright enough, were smart enough, we can come together as human beings and we can work on solving and changing the culture that creates these kinds of things. Right now, jake, we are fighting an invisible enemy that is trying to steal our lungs and steal the very breath out of our lives. At the same time, facing a very visible enemy that is trying to take our lives period. And so were all in this together but were all not in together at the same place. Were swimming in the same pool but we all dont have life preservers and the boats are not the same. The same size. Lets not miss the issue. Lets work on changing those issues and not just focussing on the outgrowth, the response to the issue. Yes, were upset because of the issue but were also upset about the causes of the issues. You know, jake, you have people who have been quarantined now for how many weeks . 8 to 10 weeks and some more. You have angry populations who are angry because of unemployment, angry because of health systems, angry because of one thing or another, and now they all are coming out and converging around the frustration of has happened and continued to happen to the brianna taylors of this world, to the George Floyds of this world. It just seems to be as relentless as this disease has been. Relentless on our population. They are people who still should be in our lives and in a minute theyre gone. Theyre gone. Here [overlapping speakers] im sorry. Your church has been hit so hard by this virus and i just was wondering if in this last moment we have if you would lead us in a moment of prayer to remember not just the congregation youve lost but the more than 100,000 people in the United States weve lost to covid19. If you can lead us in prayer . Absolutely. Let us pray, father we come to you now from many different places but, lord, were still wrestling with the same issue. We ask you to open our hearts to your leading and open our spirits to your leading. We ask you to comfort those who are bewildered and believe. Were asking you to comfort those who are sorry and those who are disappointed and those who have losted loved ones in the midst of this mpandemic. God, as we open our hearts to pray and comfort them, to move our feet and hands to move to do what needs to be done. To surround our loved ones and keep our people safe. Not just within our congregation but all over the globe wherever this pandemic has touched. God, we call upon you a healer. Lord, we call upon you to come right now in the midst. We virtually reach the hem of your garment that virtue and healing will flow to the families who find themselves in this moment standing unexpectedly at the grave side of a loved one. Oh, god, help now. We ask you by the lord of jesus christ in the name of your name we pray. Amen and amen again. Thank you for allowing prayer to go forward. Thank you for being able to allow us and others to comfort families who have been gripped of grief now, jake. This is awesome. Thank you so much, Bishop Mckenzie for honoring us with your presence today and your prayers. One painful loss at a time. The number sadly more than 100,000. Its more than a statistic. Its important to keep in mind as we continue our memorials to the people and the families behind those numbers. Actress rachel bloom now pays tribute to one of her dear friends, musician adam slessengier from stacys mom. And a widow raising two small children on her own honoring the husband and father of her children that her family has lost. So, i dont want this to be his eulogy because hopefully eventually there an actual funeral for him where we can gather and hug each other and tell stories about adam. I think thats been the hardest part for not only me and adams friends and family, but everyone who has been affected by this and had and lost a loved one. Not even just to covid19 but during these times is you can never grieve together. And our other song writing partner, jack, said that right now it feels like theres a funeral for adam that kind of never fully starts but never fully ends. But, anyway, ill just share a quick adam story. So its the day of the 2017 emmys. We were follow nominated for saddle for me in the first season. Darling just settle for me. We were in the middle of writing the Second Season of crazy exgirlfriend. We were trying to crack a duet between my character rebecca and the character paula. We knew it was some sort of 80s duet. They were having a fight. We couldnt crack it. And adam comes to my house, because were getting ready for the emmys from my house and were in the matching tuxes and were ready to go and hes like, hold on a second. I have to play you something. He sits at the piano and busts out the amazing song called you go first. It was exactly what we needed and i really want to tell you that im sorry that was adam. He didnt really care about the pomp and the circumstance of fancy events. I mean, he liked the emmys and getting an emmy but what he cared about was the work. I miss you, adam. My name is katy. My family and i live in connecticut. My husband jonathan ceo lho is 32 years old. He was an essential work er. Lho is 32 years old. He was an essential work er. In connecticut. Covid19 stole my husband and my two children who is 2 1 2 and my little girl who is about to be 1. Well miss him every day for the rest of our lives. They dont know that they lost the greatest human being and theyll only ever know their dad through pictures and memories and videos i feel like thats the worst part of this is that they wont feel the love i felt for the past 10 years with my husband. Theyll know about it but they cant say, like, i remember feeling that. It breaks my heart and i know he was so scared to miss out on them growing up and he didnt go feeling like he had done everything he needed to do. I know he left feeling scared and not wanting go. So sad. Joining us now is rabbi david volpe, the senior rabbi at sinai temple in los angeles. Thank you for being with us today. As we talked about the top of the show, the jewish ritual is rooted in the importance of Community Coming together to help a family through the period of mourning. What kind of toll is it taking us, on society that these traditions are not able to take place in this time of covid pandemic . Thank you, jake. Thank you for asking me to be on. Its extraordinarily painful not to be able to spend your last moments with a loved one as theyre dying, which has often happened and not being able to gather with others, family and friends, because we find, generally, it is in community were able to heal and we help heal one another, and so right now we have a double problem, which is that, first of all, we cant gather. We cant hold hands. We cant put our arms around each other. We cant use touch and proximity and closeness to heal and, second, of course, that we have such deep divisions and anger in our society. That it exacerbates, it makes even worse your own personal sense of grief when you see the grief and anger around you. And youve written about finding meaning in loss. How can people do that when were not able to pray together or to mourn together or even go to a funeral together . So, the first thing that i often tell people when someone has died is the measure of your loss was the measure of your blessing because the reason you grieve is because you had this blessing in your life. And that remains. That is in you. So you have to, first, turn both inside you and, also, there is a measure of faith that the person never is completely gone. That they live on in some way we cant understand. So i think for this time, for all of us, for me the iconic story i keep coming back to over and over in my mind is the story i heard many years ago which is about a man who looks up at the heavens and said, god, theres so much anger and grief and loss in your world. Why dont you send help and god said i did. I sent you. And the greatest antidote we have to loss is to help others, as well. To make our own grief a blessing for another human being who is grieving. Exactly what all the people who are coming on your show today, what Bishop Mckenzie did, the woman who just spoke about her husband did so beautifully is theyre enabling their own pain and grief and loss to be something that helps us understand and feel and go deeper. Thats the most powerful way that we know of coping with the grief that tears in our hearts. And, rabbi, before we let you go, we would appreciate it if you can lead us in a prayer for those whom weve lost in this pandemi pandemic. Master of the universe, we pray for your help in being your hands in this world. To give to others some measure of healing and some message of hope. Enable us, help us to have the courage to move on and create a world of healing. A world of justice. A place of peace. So may it be your will and so may it be ours. Amen. Rabbi david wolpe, thank you so much. Well continue our special national me mommimorial with on the nations leading muslims after the break. Often we turn to music for inspiration and for comfort.

Im from simi valley, california. My loving siblings and i lost our father mohamed kator on march 27th. It has been a devastating loss for our family. To me and my family, my dad was like our prophet. He was everything to us. Because of the great man that he was. My dad had 12 children, seven daughters and five sons. He said my daughters are my warrior and my sons are my warriors. And he loved every single one of us this 30 or 40 days has been a nightmare for my family. Out of the 10 siblings that live in california, eight of us got very, very sick with the coronavirus. Retrospect, i know that i would not do anything differently and neither with my siblings. My dad deserved his children being with him. We did the best we did for him risking our own lives until he was intubated and i would do it all over again. He was a great man. I know a lot of people say that about their dads but the likes of him will never come around again. My name is don. On april 11th, i lost my mother to covid19. Francesca porco. Theres not a minute that passes where i dont think about her. I miss her so much. My mom loved like, you know, cooking and hosting her one of her, you know, favorite things is, you know, if i brought a friend over, she would make sure that everyone was fed and, you know, having a good time. She looked out for others. You know, my mom was full of culture and life. She loved the old traditions. S she was awesome on the dance floor. You know, if my mom was there and there was a party and she just couldn tear apart a tangor waltz. She started feeling tired and developed a fever and cough. Within a matter of days she was, god, she was really bad. She spent 30 hours in the er. One of the, you know, one of the great gifts i gave myself and my mom is i taught her how to use video chat. I told her i loved her and she said i have to sleep on my stomach now. I had a minute and a half to say goodbye to my mom. Welcome back to our cnn National Memorial honoring the victims like mohamed katoro or Francesco Porco who lost their lives in this devastating pandemic. Were so sorry for their loss and the loss of thousands and thousands more like them. I want to bring in the executive director and chaplain for the Islamic Center at new york university. He also previously served as a chaplain for the new York City Police department. Thank you so much for being here. You run the Islamic Center at nyu. You have a strong presence in the heart of new york. A city once the epicenter of the pandemic. Tell us what kind of impact the pandemic had on the people of your faith in new york city. I mean, youre exactly correct. You know, new york city, at a time, was the epicenter of the coronavirus. Even today we still have individuals who are losing loved ones, who are falling ill. When we saw it reach its pinnacle, the situation was beyond difficult. You had hospitals overwhelmed, Funeral Homes not knowing what to do well beyond capacity of any kind. But you also saw so many people who were stepping up and to fill certain roles and responsibilities where governmental apparatus was not doing its part to be a real source of hope and a real source of light for so many. And this, obviously, is an extra difficult time when you take the pandemic with the death Health Impact and the economic hardships and combine it with the killing of george floyd by a Minneapolis Police officer leading to the violent clashes in the street. Especially difficult time for the Minority Community in the United States. Definitely. New york city we see that coronavirus itself is not a virus that is beyond its own insight of discrimination where at twice the rate, black and brown people were amongst the deceased in comparison to their white counter parts. The unfortunate reality, as you mentioned in the last week, we continue to see that this virus of covid19 has just given us a deeper insight into the broader ailments that is racism that is so deeply entrenched within the very fabric of our country. I think in new york city, we saw revelations of all kind from this illness. First responders who i have no idea what theyre made of, they could just stand day in and day out epitomizing selflessness to the utmost. Meeting the virus head on. Their sole purpose to bring benefit and healing to their patients. Essential workers making critical decisions but, also, revelations that were at the other end of the spectrum from those beautiful examples of first responders. People who were showing greed and selfishness and i think the deepest revelation this illness has shown to us is how race and class still dictate and define who has and who has not. Yeah, especially when it comes to access of Quality Health care. As we start to bring this show, this memorial show to a close, we would appreciate it if you could lead us in a moment of prayer for those whom weve lost during this pandemic, imam. Sure. All mighty god, giver of life, bless this gathering and all those in it. We come today to remember all those who we have lost, who have fallen ill, and whose lives have been impacted by covid19, the coronavirus. Make us from amongstst those who carry and honor them always and take lessons from this time we find ourselves in. The difficulties and hardships of the days that surround us create deep opportunity for revelations of all kinds and shown us the potential for greed and selfness that exists among those whose interest is their selfinterest and shown the beauty and courage of those who stand day in and day out of those against it. It shows inequity in the class. It shown us who we are based off our responses to it. When we look back to these days of covid19, make us those who look back with full assurance knowing that we did everything we could for others and did not leave anything behind. These days where people are still passing away and many more are falling ill, where so many have lost jobs and have no means for rent, fooding wi, or clothi anything at all. Where dying individuals asked their doctors how much they have to pay for getting intubated because theyre worry for no health care is greater than the pain of caused by covid. Where the undocumented people who contribute to our society and many essential roles are still not considered human enough to receive a u. S. Governments stimulus check. Where Global Pandemic became necessary for this march to be the first march since 2002 that no School Shooting took place in this country since all schools were closed due to covid19. Where dollars dictate decisions, ethics and moms are put to the side, and most swayed chx direction the wings of the privileged below them in. First responders and essential workers went months without ppe. So many cities across our country have shown us that the ailment of racism is as deeply entrenched as ever within ever structure and system of our nation. Where even a Global Pandemic does not give black people respite from police brutality. Where those that these days took from us include the names of george floyd, and brianna taylor. We have seen our entire health care system, prison system, educational system, justice system, welfare system, and every system is proof themselves of how black life does not matter and minorities of all backgrounds are considered less than their privileged counter parts. Where 105,000 people have died in the United States of america due to covid19. And our president has still not honored them in any way where there is so much to be done in these days and theres no shortage of opportunity to be a means of strength, hope, love, and light for so many make those when we look back we have full assurance we did everything we could for others who needed us to be better than our best and we did not leave anything behind at all. Help us to obtain strength for the sake of the weary, hope for those who are discouraged, and joy for each and every one who is down hearted. Protect us always from hearts that are not humble, tongues that are not wise, and eyes that have forgotten how to cry. Forgive for our shortcomings and bless us all. Amen. Amen.
