Fr. Altberg reports:

Tuesday, April 2, 4pm

A quick note to report having just returned from very rewarding visit with Father Bernie...judging by what I read on blog y'day and observed today, my sense is that of major progress over last week...a few smiles were forthcoming...

Fr. John, Fr. Bernie, Shellee, Staff Physical Therapist
He was thrilled to learn your informative note and blog are 'on the air' and hopes it will encourage people to come and see him.

Here is a picture I took. Father Bernie was delighted with the picture and would like a copy.

Father Craig Looney hopes to visit by the end of the week..I'll print and send a copy with him.

Among things he told me...

• Hopes he can soon return to Nazareth House..."food there is wonderful!"...

• What he treasures most is prayer and friendship..."I can't tell you how much that means to me...it helps so much just knowing people care..."

• His most debilititating problem is depression..."it's awful...so lonely"...

We spent a brief time praying before I departed...he really brightened...

As I mentioned, it was very rewarding and encouraging to see him...
