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.

LANSING Michigan’s 101st Legislature met for the first time Wednesday amid a stepped-up presence by Michigan State Police, but some lawmakers said it was hard to say whether they faced a greater danger from the lack of gun control inside the Capitol or the refusal of many lawmakers to wear face masks during the coronavirus pandemic.
“They both are extremely dangerous they both are fatal,” said newly elected state Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Detroit, who said he joined several other lawmakers in choosing to sit in the public gallery, rather than on the House floor, because his seat is close to several Republican lawmakers who do not mask up.
