The coronavirus pandemic has affected our day-to-day lives in ways we could have not imagined since the UK first went into lockdown more than a 100 days ago.
For many families, losing a loved one has been the hardest thing they have had to endure during this pandemic and now the Glasgow Times wants to give them an opportunity to remember those who have tragically died of coronavirus.
The city has so far lost more than 1,000 residents to the pandemic - a figure which is even bigger when you count our neighbouring local authorities. While in Scotland, more than 4,000 people have died from coronavirus.
Behind these statistics were real people who left behind grieving families and friends.
We, therefore, want to hear from you so we can remember the people you loved and who made such a difference in your life.
