1/29/17...went to visit Jack (a Marine veteran) after church





Bill and fellow Marine Jack at Healthsource


Jack's family was so nice to us.

We went to church.  None of our kids were there, so Dennis and Amy said they would be our kids and sit by us.  We did see Rody after church.  He was doing the sound.  After church, we came home and changed and went to Healthsource to take a bag of Christmas gifts from the Marine Corp. League to Jack.  We had never met him or his family before, but they were the nicest people.  We visited for a long time while Jack opened his gifts.  He got lots of games, gift cards, etc.  He was so happy to talk to Bill and his family said he was having a really good day.  He has dementia but sure could remember all the details about his military service.  This visit really touched our hearts.  We were able to pray for Jack and his family before we left which was a huge blessing to us.  Came home and watched the Michigan/Michigan State game.  Then we read our books!
