Couple thankful for workers, neighbors

To the editor:

It seems that every time you read the newspaper or watch TV, most of what you see is negative.

During the early part of January, despite the precautions we took, Bill and I were diagnoses with COVID-19. We were admitted to IU Health Jay and I was transferred to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie. Bill was transferred to Persimmon Ridge Rehabilitation Centre.

We returned home to complete our isolation time and recovery.

During all this time we are blessed with neighbors Bonnie and Mike Foreman, who always made sure our sidewalk and driveway were cleared, that we always had everything we needed or wanted, and that we were OK. This included taking good care of Marmalade, our family cat. We will always be grateful to them for their kindness to us.

To the medical staff and health workers of IU Health Jay, IU Health Ball and Persimmon Ridge, our heartfelt thanks for the excellent care we received.

Yes, we know that in spite of the bad things we read about, we know that there is still good in our world. And we have much to be thankful for.

Bill and Rose Fennig
