While Jack, 94, lived at a memory care facility, his wife stayed at home, and the COVID-19 restrictions hindered them from seeing each other. On March 19, they had a sweet reunion at the McKnight Place Assisted Living and Memory Care in Missouri.

Speaking about seeing her husband again, Virginia mentioned that the light in her life went up again. She gushed, adding that his eyes equally sparkled like the way they did in previous years.
