A sad milestone

A sad milestone  Rhode Island passed a sad milestone this week in our fight against the ongoing pandemic. We are mourning 1,002 fellow Rhode Islanders lost to COVID-19. The series of heartrending portraits of some of the neighbors we've lost in today's Providence Journal serves as an important reminder. Each victim of this pandemic had a story. Each was a part of our community.  Our hearts are with each family grieving a lost loved one. Sincerely, U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
