Livonia nurse Lori Marie Key performed a rendition of “Amazing Grace” Tuesday at the national COVID-19 memorial ceremony in Washington D.C.
“Working as a COVID nurse is heartbreaking. As heartbreaking for the patients who are sick, it was heartbreaking for the family who couldn’t be there with them and it’s heartbreaking for those caring for them,” Key said before performing. “But when I’m at work, I sing. It gives me strength during difficult times and I believe it helps heal.”
Livonia nurse Lori Key went viral last year after singing for her fellow health care workers during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic. And on Tuesday, she will sing before the inauguration at a special nationwide memorial for people who have died from COVID-19.
