Share Judy Tobias helped sister Cathy Tobias tie nearly 30,000 ribbons to represent every Floridian life lost to the pandemic.
On Feb. 16, friends, community members and families spread out along a swath of beach more than two football fields long. As one, they raised thick lines of plastic ribbons tied in every color of the rainbow as onlookers snapped photos and the ribbons snapped in the wind. In total, there were nearly 30,000 ribbons, one for every Floridian death due to complications of COVID-19.
“When you see it in ribbons, it’s like, ‘Oh, my,’” Longboat Key resident and ribbon tier Judy Tobias said. “There are all these families who are missing someone at the table.”
