Alice Lowell, right, the wife of veteran Charles Lowell who died of the COVID-19 virus, is embraced by her daughter, Susan Kenney, as she cries while they talk about him at the home the couple shared for 30 years in Hardwick, Mass., Saturday, May 2, 2020. In communities around the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home in Massachusetts, families are marking the first Memorial Day without a veteran who was a parent, spouse or sibling. More than 70 have died of the virus at the home in one of the worst outbreaks in the country and the subject of state and federal investigations. David Goldman/AP Photo
