âIâll see you in heaven.â
It was the last thing Al Braccolino, 90, of Crown Point, told one of his daughters as paramedics loaded him into an ambulance Nov. 16. COVID-19 forced him into the final fight of his life.
Ten days later, the chair Al usually occupied at the Thanksgiving table would sit empty. The husband to his wife of 70 years, father of three and grandfather of six died on the holiday.
Alâs daughter, Sandra Noe, was herself suffering from COVID-19, which she contracted while caring for her sick parents, when the virus forced Alâs hospitalization.
Noe, 66, is no stranger to helping elderly shut-ins weather isolation.

NUI Galway BioInnovate spin-out Venari Medical has developed a minimally invasive medical device that it hopes can tackle CVD at early and extreme stages.
If the valves in the veins in your legs weaken, blood can flow backwards and pool in your lower limbs. While this condition, known as chronic venous disease (CVD), is typically not a serious threat to health, it can be painful and disabling for patients.
“Chronic venous disease doesn’t kill patients but it does ruin their lives,” said Stephen Cox, co-founder of Venari Medical. The failure of the veins to circulate blood effectively can lead to fluid leaking into surrounding tissue, causing pain, swelling, discolouration, varicose veins, breakdown of the skin and, in severe cases, venous leg ulcers.
