and works in a nursing home in Petoskey, MI (UP) tested positive for Covid-19 early in the pandemic. She luckily had a mild case and fully recovered. She has problems with depression to begin with, and now she's struggling with guilt with her good fortune given what's happened to others.

She's a single (divorced) cat lady and feels very deeply for the people who have died and left behind spouses and children. She seems to be doing better this month, thankfully.
