Potato Soup for the Soul

90-year-old Geneva Wood overcame Covid-19 despite a serious diagnosis. In her own words, she describes feeling grateful to hold her kids and enjoy time with them. Geneva said that anytime she was ill, all she wanted was potato soup. Jonathan Vigliotti reports that, “She says she was only one bowl of potato soup away from this story being an obituary.” Geneva’s story demonstrates the power of family, home cooking, and the hope of healing.
