A metro Detroit nurse whose moving rendition of “Amazing Grace” spread widely on social media early in the COVID-19 pandemic sang the hymn for the country Tuesday night. Lori Key,29, performed at a nationwide COVID-19 memorial in Washington D.C. before President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. The memorial was part of the inauguration events. Key, a registered nurse who works at St. Mary Mercy hospital in Livonia, said working as a COVID-19 nurse was heartbreaking. “When I’m at work I sing,” she said during the memorial. “It gives me strength during difficult times, and I believe it helps heal.” TV broadcast her performance live and it was also streamed online. The event honored the 400,000 lives lost to the coronavirus across the country.
