Amidst all the other concerns of this time, these people are even more marginalized than before. Yet these people lived among us; they were children, siblings, friends, and sometimes parents of others among us, and now they have passed. May they rest in peace, and may we soon come back to being a society that does not allow any of its people to simply vanish without concern or note.
