Bonus Episode. Voices-19 Authors Talk About the Book
Welcome to another bonus episode where I'll be talking with Jean, Kim and Rosie who wrote chapters in the book Voices-19: Their Legacies Live On, Stories Collected by Brenda E. Cortez. In each of the 18 chapters of this book, the authors write about a family member they have lost to COVID-19.
Jean in New Jersey lost her sister, Vivian Meitzler on April 16, 2020. Kimberlee in Pennsylvania lost her father Paul Letizi on October 29, 2020 and Rosie in Texas lost her mother Mary Castro on Mary 17, 2020. Rosie was a guest on this show on Episode 3 and is the founder of the Yellow Heart Memorial. Jean worked with Brenda Cortez to collect the stories and reached out to the other people who contributed to this book.
