ANNA MARIA ISLAND, Fla. (WWSB) - An Anna Maria Island woman decorated her home with hundreds of colorful ribbons.
“It’s a little overwhelming to see,” said Cathy Tobias.
For more than two months, Tobias has been working day and night, cutting ribbons for a memorial.
“When I started doing this, I couldn’t imagine where we are right now,” she said.
The rainbow colored ribbons hits close to home.
“My daughter is a COVID nurse, so I hear her stories on how tough and how hard she’s working, how exhausting it is,” Tobias said. “She says one time during the winter season when things were really tough, she said half the people that came into her unit would die.”
