Patricia Yancy, shown with family members Chanel Yancey, Semone and Julious Byrd, Jordan Byrd and dog Mocha: “2020 has been the most challenging year as we still grieve over the loss of 11 family members. Yet we stand here united knowing we are so blessed and grateful to have a strong faith in God, the fortitude of our ancestors, and the powerful example that 59 years of Black love represents with our 77-year-old parents and grandparents, Jack and Rosa Byrd.”
