Our family overcame the virus only 6 weeks ago, our prayers are with those who are suffering through it, especially those who are experiencing complications and those who have lost loved ones. I'm sure we aren't alone in keeping those suffering in our city in our prayers.  Many more people seem to be wearing masks and taking this serious than what we experienced at the onset of summer last year.
