I found out today someone I knew died from Covid 19. He was 38 yrs old [View all]

One of my sister's childhood friends died of Covid 19 yesterday. I have not seen him in years. My sister kept in touch with him even though we left NYC many years ago. Even though I haven't seen him in a long time I have so many memories of him at my parents' house when we were younger. Even more tragic, he lost his wife to cancer a year ago. He adopted his wife's daughter when he married her. He's the only dad she's ever known.
