Despite his illness, Louis, who was the director of food services at a nursing home in Queens, New York, continued to work. His fever soon spiked as the novel coronavirus continued to spread throughout the city.

By April 1, Louis was in so much pain that he called 911 and was taken by ambulance to NewYork–Presbyterian Queens Hospital and later that same day, an ambulance took his mother to Queens Hospital Center.

Lolita and Louis were subsequently diagnosed with pneumonia and tested positive for COVID-19. While Lloyd managed to speak to his mother on the night of April 6, he was told the next day that she was dead.

Within 24 hours of receiving that information, Louis’s doctor reached out to Lloyd to let him know that his 47-year-old brother was also dead. Recalling the life-changing event, Louis said:

“How did this happen? I just don’t have those answers, nobody knows how or where this was contracted.”
