(NOTE: The following editorial by Sammy Franklin was published in the January 12, 2022 issue, where we featured a special tribute listing all those who had died during 2021.) In this week’s edition of your parish newspaper, we are publishing “A Special Tribute” to honor all those we lost during the year ending December 31, 2021. Years 2020 and 2021 were unlike any we have ever witnessed with the Covid-19 pandemic changing the way we live, and the way we shared grief at the death of our loved ones and friends.
