On April 8, Oriental resident Ken Laser lost his brother to the Coronavirus.
To you all,I am the eldest of three brothers. Twenty five years ago, when my middle brother died, all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and grieve alone. I expected that the same would be true when my brother, Mark, died last week from the Coronavirus, but I was mistaken. My friends, my community of Oriental, reached out to comfort me in a way I had not experienced before. The emails, calls and cards touched me and helped me to not withdraw.
I want to thank you all for your kindness and warm concern for me and my family. I shouldn’t have been surprised, after all, this is Oriental.
