A fan undergoing cancer treatment in Illinois received a surprise visit from country music icon Randy Travis. Travis, who lives in Grayson County, met with Bunnia Greenwood at the City of Hope Center Chicago. The hospital had initially requested a signed poster, but Travis and his wife Mary decided to make a personalized visit instead.
The visit was captured on video, which shows the couple being greeted with applause and cheers. Travis spent time with Greenwood, signing autographs and giving her a day to remember. Greenwood, a veteran NICU nurse, was visibly shocked and grateful for the visit.
