So touching!

This just gets worse day by day. Such sad stories 😢Such brave people 💔

😱🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💋

Sad moment

Didn’t her mother know if she had cerebral palsy that she would indefinitely have complications from a virus that attacks the lungs & heart simultaneously Whether a good deed or not..her life hanged in the balance too! What A Way To Suffer Twice

so sad to hear her family's loss.

Bloody Hell! Live, serve, sacrifice, then say goodbye.

Should be no employees in grocery stores during the day. There should be a night crew to stock shelves, and there are self checkouts. One person can sit up in the booth in case someone screws up the self checkout and should be able to set it up so he can reset it from up there.

Another American hero. I don’t like the idea that people like her lost their lives and employers should really think about what they are asking people to do when they come in.

💔💔💔💔💔
