Remembering Covid 19 Victims- Behind every stat is a loved one
The statistics are staggering. They take your breath away. Behind every " stat" is someone's loved one. It is not my intention to make this a macabre thread. But to remind folks that there are real people behind those numbers and this is why people need to stay home. Encourage your friends and family to stay home. It is the sacrifice we must make at this time to save not only our lives, but the lives of someone's mother, daughter, son, wife, husband, daughter, best friend, lover.
I am sitting here with tears in my eyes for this family. Such a beautiful family.
Grieving family says goodbye to dying coronavirus-stricken mom via walkie talkie
A grieving family had to say goodbye to their dying mother in Washington State via walkie-talkie, as she was deemed too contagious during her losing battle with the coronavirus.
The six children of 42-year-old widow Sundee Rutter could only stare helplessly through a small window into their mother’s isolation room and speak to her via a walkie-talkie, its counterpart propped on her pillow, they told BuzzFeed News.
Sundee, who had battled stage 4 breast cancer, was stricken in early March and died about two weeks later.
“I told her I love her ... she shouldn’t worry about the kids,” Elijah Ross-Rutter, the fourth of her six children, told Buzzfeed News.
He, his five siblings and Rutter’s mother were on hand to bid farewell via the handheld radio device, BuzzFeed News said. The children range in age from 13 to 24, with the eldest about to graduate from college. He is seeking guardianship of the youngest three, who are in middle and high school, and will use the money raised by a GoFundMe account set up by a family friend to procure stable housing.
