found this impressive window with a beautiful message in Lincoln on
the south side of Scully Park. We went searching for Jenny Lewis to
find out the rest of the story. Jenny is a procedural technician in
labor and delivery at St. John's Hospital in Springfield.
She said that the window was a surprise gift from her mother-in-law
with help from her husband and children and input from Jenny's mom.
Jenny said the window and its message of support was their way of
telling her how proud they were of the work she is doing on the
frontlines during the coronavirus. And that they extended those
feelings to all frontline healthcare workers as well.
Jenny said when the sign first went up and she was out looking at
it, there were some people in Scully Park across the street who came
to the edge and started clapping for her. It was very touching, "and
it made me proud to go to work and do my job."
LDN is proud of you too, Jenny. And we are grateful to you and every
healthcare worker risking his or her health to take care of others.
You are our heroes.
