Though our small communities are spread out across many miles, we all hold our neighbors close. As Covid-19 swept through, many of our friends tragically lost their lives. In response, we found a unique way to honor them. With help from our friends, Oak Grove Baptist Church, a few strangers, and our family, we “grew” a field of flags, each marking a death from Covid in Virginia.
Here are a few news stories covering these efforts:
