Stories: Who We Have Lost
Too Many Names
Who did you lose to Covid 19? Michael Mantell
The month of April usually will bring most people joy as it is the beginning of April flowers blooming. Putting away their coats. But in my world it starts the beginning of the names of those I have met who have lost their special person. It starts with Larry, Perry, Louis, Johnny, Jody, my Michael, and then Ben. These are just a few of those who passed due to Covid in April 2020. I have met their spouses through Covid connections and we have formed a bond. Their loss is my loss. The month of April does not bring us much joy anymore.
