Remember R.N. Joey Traywick, who told NBC he and his colleagues are broken? After the story aired, he came down with COVID-19 himself. This week, he returned to work to find hundreds of letters and gifts. But he wants the focus to shift to the people we& #39;ve lost. #mtnews #COVID19
The 652 people we& #39;ve lost are worth more than a small paragraph in a news article. They are more than numbers on a dashboard. Thank you to the families who let me share photos of their loved ones for this story. I& #39;m so sorry. https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/health-worker-wants-to-honor-memories-of-those-who-died-from-covid-19">https://nbcmontana.com/news/loca...

Dee Jay Robinson of Great Falls was a beloved husband and father with a shining personality. “Integrity, honesty and kindness were the foundation of which he was raised and helped form the man he was to become," his family says. #mtnews #COVID19
I share these three photos with you to put a face on the Montana numbers. Please remember there are 1.4 million people globally who deserve to have their photo shared and their story told. Let& #39;s not forget them.
