Naggayi Angella was only 42 when she died, a single mum who has left behind two heartbroken children.
Known to her friends as Grace or Amazing Grace, she had spent the past two weeks in a coma in hospital before succumbing to Covid on Monday.
Her death was one of a number on that day that marked a grim statistical milestone, taking the UK past 100,000 fatalities as the second wave of the virus pandemic goes on.
Peter Attwood, who at 84 was twice Ms Naggayi s age, had first become ill in December 2019 and passed away on January 30. Nobody suspected that he had Covid – back then, the virus was only starting to come to the world s attention in its breeding ground in China – but a subsequent post-mortem showed traces of it in his lung tissue.
