But there was laughter, too, as good memories were shared and recoveries from the virus were celebrated. It was hard seeing people lose people day after day, and they were unable to have funerals and were unable to grieve with other people, said Terri Ledbetter, a registered nurse educator, and one of the organizers of the memorial. So, we just thought we would offer an opportunity for some of the families of all these people that are on these signs out here (bearing photos of victims of COVID) to maybe come together. We just thought it would be a good time for them to grieve.
