Joyce shared with us that her husband always promised her one day he’d get her to meet Bill Gaither, the man who started it all. Both Joyce’s husband and son developed cancer, and during that time, she wrote in to Bill to have him pray for her family. The Gaithers even sent a letter back to Joyce during this time. All these years later, The Gaither Vocal Band came back through Des Moines to perform!

Edencrest at the Legacy worked with their tour manager to arrange a meeting with Bill and Joyce before the show. Bill and Joyce had a wonderful chat, and he signed the letter than they sent Joyce all those years ago. Joyce said that she knew her family was smiling down from heaven at the two of them that night.

Nothing makes Jo happier than talking about Central, so Edencrest at the Legacy worked with the school to help get her involved in this year's festivities. After a nice meal at a VIP table, cheering with the current squad, and some special introductions, Jo got to crown Central's 2018 Homecoming King and Queen!

Jo and her family had a wonderful evening full of smiles and laughter, and we at Edencrest at the Legacy are so grateful that we got to be a part of it. Special thanks to the Central College Alumni and Development office.
