Handwritten Letter (2016.034.0441)
Description
Handwritten letter on orange paper that says “(heart) Although I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing you. I am connected to you. / We shared the same community, basked in the same sunlight, walked on the same streets, cheered for the same teams, and called the same city our home. You are my neighbors, my friends, my heroes. / My heart is so heavy that you have left our home and this earth, but I will remember you for the rest of my days, and honor you not with sadness and fear, but with empowerment, strength, and love. / Your memories will live in the city – the nation – the world, and the people within it. People who are your admirers, your supporters, your neighbors, your friends. / With your memories in our hearts, we will be forever Orlando Strong. / (heart)m.”
