The Best Neighbors You Could Ever Have

Dennis and Joan Redfield are winners

When my parents moved to another community, they played Neighbor Roulette. You never know what kind of neighbor you’ll have. But they couldn’t have found better neighbors than Dennis and Joan Redfield.

Dennis mowed the lawn, pruned trees and shoveled the driveway. When Dad fell, Dennis was there in a minute to help him up. And when the heavy glass sliding door went off track, Dennis played Samson and fixed it. He even blacktopped the driveway, free.

Joan brings her pleasant humor, attentive ear and sometimes something from her kitchen. She’s taken Mom to concerts and planted her flowers. She has helped Mom choose furniture and wallpaper.

Emergencies happen when one is 90-something, but during Mom’s four-week hospital stay, Joan took care of paying bills and the mail and groceries. I called her Miss Meals on Wheels.

Dennis and Joan painted Mom’s house but wouldn’t accept as much as offered.

They love her and she loves them, which means everything to me since I’m several states away. Neighbor Roulette paid off for my parents as the Lord graciously provided the best.
