From the Associated Press — A Detroit suburb plans to place memorial flags outside its municipal campus to remember residents and their loved ones who have died due to the COVID-19 virus. The memorial will be displayed from May 10-28 in Southfield. The city says names of the deceased will be read aloud during a May 11 candlelight vigil. Residents can submit by May 3 the names, brief biographies and photos of those they wish to be honored in an online memorial and at the vigil. The city says more than 260 Southfield residents have died from complications due to the coronavirus.
