Grigsby’s staff will continue to provide updates as as the state representative moves toward a full recovery. “Many have expressed an interest in sending flowers to Tamara and her family,” the statement continues. “In lieu of flowers, Rep. Grigsby requests that interested parties instead make a small donation to a Wisconsin organization representing the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Groups such as Urban Underground, the Milwaukee Inner City Congregations Allied for Hope (MICAH), the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, and the Wisconsin Campaign Against Violence are a few of many organizations that represent part of Dr. King’s-and Rep. Grigsby’s-commitment to better lives for all.”
