“While the pain of losing a loved one never leaves, it is profoundly felt during the holiday season. To her family and friends, Jeff, Lt. Governor Josh, and I send our heartfelt condolences and sympathies,” said Guam Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero. “As we continue to feel the effects of Covid-19, life seems even more precious this Christmas. Do not hesitate to remind loved ones just how important they are; reach out to those with whom you may have lost touch; and cherish every precious moment with those close to your heart.”
