And I remember waking up the next day, in the living room, on the floor, on the pile of clothes that I had pulled out of the closet," she says."Because that was it. That's all I had."

thank you for this. let's hear more about each of the 100,000 victims and the people that are mourning them. it's a tragedy and we should not turn away. there is a story behind every number.

that has to be a very very sad job. when you look at things of people who have passed, you look at things that mean nothing to you and everything to someone's life. no one to explain any of it. just emptiness.

, if during this story, you DON’T mention that President Trump is testing himself & those near him DAILY, that would be irresponsible reporting.

CathyCody Kudos! It's heartrending to see patients die, but to box their belonging must be heartbreaking, only special people like Cody can accomplish this task, an essential service which needs recognition and gratitude Stay safe

She been that phenomenal, that service minded for decades! From feeding and clothing the needy & homeless to youth mentoring & ministry! So thankful the world now know too!

😭
