Quarantine and social distancing guidelines have changed the way families are mourning their loved ones. In this #LetterfromtheHomefront, Denise from White Marsh says, "My brother died on Saturday March 7, 2020, following surgery. We had a big turnout at the viewing and the funeral, but still within guidelines. I grieve along with the families whose loved ones died, from whatever cause, during this pandemic who did not get that opportunity."
