VANCOUVER — The daughter of a man who died of COVID-19 paid tribute to him and other seniors who have lost their lives at a memorial she unveiled today.
The memorial features a poster of physiotherapist Garry Monckton, who died April 2 at Haro Park Centre Society.
His daughter Samantha says she played “Blue Moon” and “When the Saints Go Marching In” on the trumpet for her 77-year-old father outside his long-term care facility because she couldn’t visit him during his final days.
She says the poster is a reminder of how COVID-19 has touched almost everyone and the precautions people should take.
