(Courtesy of Rose River Memorial) ORANGE COUNTY, CA — It's time to grieve, artist Marcos Lutyens explains. It started with just a few handmade, red felt roses, but the Rose River Memorial has now grown to signify the thousands who have died in the coronavirus pandemic. Each rose represents a life, a loved one lost to coronavirus on Los Angeles' Westside. Each rose symbolizes a memory and tribute behind a heartbreaking loss.
