Forty-two people are confirmed dead in the wildfires that swept across Northern California this month. In this hour, Forum will remember and celebrate the lives of many of those who died or are still missing. And we invite you to share your remembrances — if you lost a friend or loved one in the North Bay fires please tell us about them. Who were they? What will you miss most about them? What memories will you cherish?
