It is sad to here so many of our friends and neighbors suffered and even more difficult to know that so many have died. It is to bad that life and death have even become a political thing these days. Some really special neighbors, across the street died from this Covid. They died together within hours from one another. I am going to keep wearing my mask and practicing CDC Guidelines till a vaccine is developed. And no-one will shame me into doing differently.
