DEWITT, NY - Twice Msgr. J. Robert Yeazel’s family was told he was on the cusp of death, unlikely to survive his fight with Covid-19.
Yeazel felt it in his bones. He was just so wiped out. He confesses he really didn’t think he would make it.
At one point, he asked nurses for paper and pen. He gathered his strength and wrote a short letter to his brother and nephews telling them how much he loved them, and not to worry as they’d done everything they could for him.
