Tributes to ‘gentle’ grandad
HUNDREDS of people have tragically lost their lives to coronavirus.
Every number represents a human being who was loved by someone.
They were mothers, sons, dads and daughters, who had fantastic stories to tell.
The Stockport Express - along with our sister title the Manchester Evening News - has vowed to pay tribute to COVID-19 victims from our region in our Loved and Lost series.
Every victim of the virus has a story. We want to tell them all.
