DETROIT
-
Organizers
of the
citywide
Spirit
Drive
memorial
to
victims
of
COVID-19
are
reminding
families
to
include
full
details
of their
loved
one when
submitting
their
photo
for
inclusion
in the
August
31
citywide
memorial
for
those
lost to
the
coronavirus.
Because
the
global
pandemic
has
limited
our
ability
to
gather
for
funerals,
the City
is
holding
a
Citywide
Memorial
at the
end of
August.
The City
plans to
install
large
photo
boards
representing
Detroit
residents
we lost
along a
route on
Belle
Isle.
Families
and
friends
will be
able to
say
goodbye,
and the
photos
will be
given to
families
when the
memorial
is over.
The
deadline
for
submittals
is July
31.
Submittal
Process:
So far,
several
hundred
photos
have
been
submitted,
although
some did
not
include
key
details
of the
individual
being
memorialized.
To
ensure
that
everyone
provides
all the
necessary
information
so their
loved
one's
image
can be
included
in the
memorial,
organizers
are
instructing
families
to use
the
online
submittal
form,
which
can be
found at
www.detroitmi.gov/ace.
The
form can
be found
directly
at
this
link.
***Families
who may
have
submitted
incomplete
information
on their
loved
one
previous,
should
re-submit
their
information
using
this
upload
form
before
July 31.
As part
of it's
citywide
memorial
event on
August
31, the
City
also
will
honor
those
who
continue
to fight
in
hospitals,
medical
centers,
food
banks,
homeless
shelters
and
neighborhood
groups
across
the
city.
