The year 2020 certainly feels heavy with loss. We’re particularly mindful of this with the recent passing of civil rights icon and long-serving Congressman John Lewis, following his brave battle with pancreatic cancer. Meanwhile, Tony continues the arduous process of recovery from his recent stroke.
For now, Tony is staying at the Health Center at the retirement community where we live.
