"There is no pain like losing a loved one. To his family and friends, please accept our condolences and sympathies," said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero. "As we lose more and more of our neighbors to COVID-19, we cannot become numb to the news. These people are more than numbers--they were friends, co-workers, siblings, parents, children. They are more than the illness they succumbed to. So it is our duty, our responsibility to keep each other safe. Our vigilance is the only vaccine we have."
