Leeser starts his letter with a painful memory of how he lost his mother in November to COVID-19. He explains his two sisters and brother visited her, not knowing she was COVID-19 positive. His brother didn t wear face masks, but his two sisters did.
Sadly, that visit resulted in Leeser losing his brother on Christmas Eve.

The plant life in San Antonio stood no chance against the snowstorm weeks ago.
The city s parks and recreation department and other green areas like the Witte museum, which borders Brackenridge Park, are still accessing the damages to their plant life caused by the devastating winter weather. At the Witte, chief of operations Brady Haynes told MySA.com the freezing temperatures left a devastating impact on all of its programmed landscaping.
Haynes said the severe storm killed plants and landscaping that had been recently installed in 2017. He noted the museum is looking at what is still alive and cutting back some of the dead brush, especially some of the smellier plants like Spider Lillies, Philodendrons, and Viburnums.
