Before a Washington mother died of coronavirus, her six children used a walkie-talkie to say goodbye

Just weeks ago, Sundee Rutter was told she was beating breast cancer. But suddenly she was dying of a different disease, and her six children were saying goodbye -- from the other side of a window.

Rutter, 42, died on March 16 in Everett, Washington, after contracting coronavirus.

Her children, ages 13 to 24, were losing another parent, eight years after their father died. They gathered outside her hospital room, and staff came up with an arrangement to let them talk to her.

"They took a walkie-talkie, and they placed (it) right by her bedside, on the pillow," her son Elijah Ross-Rutter, 20, said.

Looking at her through a window, "We got to say our final words and goodbyes to our mom," he said.
