Bill and Connie Stevens
Today was a special day for Bill. He had checked on going to see Connie Stevens for Town Talk, but was told he would have to by the yearly membership for $135. Our dear friend, Sue, got him
a ticket from someone she knew that wasn't able to go. Praise God! He has been looking so forward to today. When he was in Vietnam, Connie was there and asked for 4 guys named Bill to come on the stage. Dad moved fast and was one of them. Some of the other's names weren't even Bill. She danced with Bill and sang Wedding Bell Blues. (Will you marry me Bill) and she kissed him. It was a special day for him over there. Always love hearing him tell of it. Well today, he got to go see her again and sat right next to her table. She signed an 8 x 10 picture of her for him and wrote, Dear Bill, Will you marry me Still? and signed her name. She also signed the program for him saying how happy she was to see him again, and signed Love you forever. Bill was so happy for this special day which makes me very happy. She said they probably wouldn't ever see each other again and he told her, We will in heaven, if you know Jesus. He always knows how to plant a good seed. Praying she thinks about that. We watched a dvd of her taking a group of nurses who had served in Vietnam, back over there 25 years later. It was so touching. Very hard for these nurses to look back on all the lives lost. They were so young to go through all that and so were our men. Praying for all the Vietnam and other veterans for healing of their minds and emotions when they come back. My heart goes out to them. So proud of my sweetie for serving then and now for serving the Lord the way he does. Love, Love, Love him!!!
