SAM AND JOANN RECK: A COVID-19 STORY OF ETERNAL LOVE
After 30 years of marriage, Sam and JoAnn Reck were challenged by the restrictions placed on them by their respective nursing homes during quarantine. Although they lived next door to each other, they could not visit, so JoAnne would take her walker and sneak out to see Sam from his balcony. They also had chats through Alexa and video.
Sadly, JoAnn tested positive for COVID-19 and her health deteriorated after 4 weeks in intensive care. The love of her life, Sam, 90 years old, had to see his bride. Against all recommendations and fully understanding he could get infected with COVID-19 if he visited JoAnn, Sam was relentless.
Fully dressed in personal protective equipment, Sam visited his sweetheart one last time. Holding JoAnn’s hand lovingly, Sam said, “I’m finally getting to hold your hand after all these months. Hi honey, hi darling, yeah it’s Sam. You don’t recognize me with all this junk on my face. I love you, sweetheart. I love you so much!”
JoAnn, died a few days later on July 12, 2020. Sam later tested positive for COVID-19 and has now died from COVID-19 complications.
Their son, SCOTT HOOPER, posted on his Facebook, “After Sam tested positive for COVID, I asked him if he regretted his visit to the hospital. Without pause he replied, ‘Not one second.’ He said no matter what happens, he was very happy he had the opportunity to say goodbye and hold her hand one more time.”
Our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of this loving couple whose love knew of no boundaries. A love that is now eternal. Rest in peace, together forever, Sam and JoAnn.
