Latimer said on Thursday the holidays will be different in 2020, but that it is still important to give thanks and stay the course.

“As we reflect on this year that has passed, it may be hard for some of us to find many things to be thankful,” Latimer said. “But, it is in these more difficult moments that it is most important for us to give thanks for good health and our loved ones.”
