It is with great sadness and sorrow that this report announces our first CoVID-19 passing. This disease is serious, dangerous and deadly, keep using face coverings, social distancing, wash hands often, stay away from sick people, avoid hot spots and if are ordered to ISOLATE or QUARANTINE, follow orders. Stay put, away from others until nurses say it’s okay to come out of your location.
