One of the more memorable moments from the COVID-19 pandemic was the passing of Grand Prairie teachers and husband/wife Paul and Rose Mary Blackwell in December from the deadly virus.
The couple, who had been married, made national news as they died just minutes apart, holding each other’s hands and the hands of their children.
