NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A candlelight vigil to honor those who have lost their lives to COVID-19 was held in Brooklyn on Saturday.
About two dozen people gathered in Park Slope to mourn the lives lost and to show support to those who have lost a family member during the pandemic.
Attendees lit candles and listened to a violinist perform before listening to some heartfelt speeches.
