Cathy Cody lives in one of the hardest-hit areas by COVID-19, and she has one of the hardest jobs, too — boxing up the possessions of those who died of the virus. 'The families we have been assisting are people I know,' Cody says. 'It's heartbreaking.'
The unimaginable and sudden loss caused by this virus is an eerily familiar pain for Cody, whose son was murdered on June 11, 2017. Anthony Wright, 21, was shot and killed outside an apartment complex when he tried to stop an attack on his older sister.Cody remembers standing outside his closet.
"I remember grabbing hold to his clothing and I remember just screaming and crying to the top of my lungs, 'God, if you don't help me, I don't know what to do.' 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."
Marjorie Franklin, a retired seamstress, was 66. Nathaniel Franklin, who celebrated his retirement last June, was 65. Both of her parents died in hospitals. Teri Franklin says the moment she returned to her parents' house, she was surrounded by their memories.
