“My mother lived life to the fullest,” Susan Reinsdorf said in a statement. “A devoted artist, a big heart, a big personality, a strong woman, she always fought for the underdog and was so compassionate and thoughtful of others. She was such an influence on me, and as I was growing up, was always accepting of me and my friends, as if everyone was always part of the family.”
“I think it’s really cool. You know, I saw the video chat a couple days ago, Garrett and everyone on the call, and I think it’s awesome. You know, these are the stories that (the Yankees) attract each and every year that ultimately become the stories we focus on for HOPE week. They always seem to be unique in nature. And always incredibly heartwarming. And this is one of those stories,” Boone said. “It was neat for me to get to meet her before I came in here and I’m looking forward to her being on the bench for a couple innings tonight.”
While the state has lifted capacity limits and most other COVID-19-related restrictions, “it’s imperative that we remember that this doesn’t mean that the pandemic is over,” Pritzker said. “Around the world, and here in Illinois, this virus is very much present, infecting people, hospitalizing some and, tragically, killing others every day.”

“Some are still looking for more creative ways to do a show,” said Michael Cartolano, president of Melrose Pyrotechnics of Kingsbury, Indiana. Examples might be to do a drive-up show, or to shoot only high-altitude fireworks than can be seen from a wide surrounding area. Some towns, such as Glencoe, are electing to wait and do Labor Day fireworks instead.
