Louis Thompson prays for friends he lost in the June 24, 2021, condo tower collapse. Thompson said he lives in Bay Harbor and had spoken to his friends the day before the collapse and talked to them about future plans. “They wanted to go to vacation in New York,” he said. “Now they’re going on vacation with the lord.” The makeshift memorial is across the street from the site of the 12-story oceanfront Champlain Towers South Condo, 8777 Collins Ave., that partially collapsed about 1:30 a.m. on June 24, 2021 in Surfside.
