ABOUT

The JBU COVID-19 memorial is a space to lament those that we love and a way to unite in comforting one another. Our sorrow runs deep as the pandemic continues to ravage our world. This platform seeks to restore humanity to individuals lost to the coronavirus and those who are grieving. They are more than a statistic; they are our family members, neighbors, coworkers and friends. We remember and honor their legacy.

​

As followers of Christ, we are called to mourn with those who mourn and to love our neighbors as ourselves (Romans 12:15; Mark 12:31). May we have eyes to see, ears to listen and open hearts to bear the pain of those around us. And may we continue to act responsibly, putting others' well-being above ourselves (Philippians 2:3-4).

The digital memorial was inspired by @FacesOfCOVID and the work of Alex Goldstein.
