In these final days of Women’s History Month, a Louisiana woman, Julia Letlow, is carving out a piece of history of her own.

“A flood, a mixture of bittersweetness is the way liam neeson I describe it,” Representative-elect Letlow said.

“We always acknowledged the severity of COVID, and our hearts went out to the people who were losing flamengo their lives and loved ones who were losing their people in their family," Letlow said. "So, when tragedy struck mine, it cubs vs rangers got close to home. I just want to say to Americans that have lost loved ones, I hear you. I hurt with you and most importantly I pray with you."
