Cheers & Jeers

CHEERS:

Triple cheers to Vietnam Vet and his wife, who paid for this Korea vet and wife’s meal at Cracker Barrel on Thanksgiving Day! Wishing you a merry Christmas and happy New Year!—C.M., New Boston, Texas

CHEERS:

To Hospice of Texarkana! These people are truly angels on earth. Every member on their staff touched our lives during the most difficult time. They showed compassion, grace, and patience. They treated my family member as if she was their own. While my family member never stayed in their inpatient unit, we knew that it was there if we needed it and it is amazing. It makes you feel like you are home away from home. We were also able to use their tchapel for an intimate memorial that was an extremely special moment for us.—M.B., Texarkana, Ark.
