I had the opportunity to visit with Mr. Waddell during his brief stay at Springtree Health Center. My Dad was in the same room with him. He was such a sweet and interesting man. We had a lengthy conversation one day when I was there. He told me a few funny jokes and about the work he use to do. I really enjoyed listening and talking with him. I know he had a lot of serious health problems. I'm glad he's no longer suffering. My heart goes out to you during this sad time. I would like to share one of my favorite scriptures. My prayer is that the God of all comfort will be with you all. (Rev. 21: 3,4)
Please know you're being thought of.
