He had to switch jobs to complete his enlistment and then served in Vietnam before getting out and heading home to Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was where he reunited with Michelle. Their families had been friends for years, but Michelle and Thomas had never dated. When he had another rash of medical issues, his sister called Michelle to ask for her help. The Veterans Affairs hospital initially diagnosed it as a stroke and Michelle helped him recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5733\" height=\"3814\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FHF-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-Draft-1.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FHF-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-Draft-1.jpeg.jpg 5733w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FHF-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-Draft-1.jpeg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FHF-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-Draft-1.jpeg.jpg?resize=768,511 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FHF-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-Draft-1.jpeg.jpg?resize=1024,681 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FHF-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-Draft-1.jpeg.jpg?resize=1536,1022 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/FHF-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-Draft-1.jpeg.jpg?resize=2048,1362 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5733px) 100vw, 5733px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thomas was a noted ladies\u2019 man at the time, so Michelle\u2019s duties included telling visitors that Thomas couldn\u2019t go out until he got better. But as she nursed her old family friend back to health, the two grew closer together and fell in love, eventually marrying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years, they built a life together, interrupted by occasional neurological episodes diagnosed as strokes, until an emergency visit to the medical center where the physician had just completed training to spot multiple sclerosis (MS). He ordered tests and quickly identified the previous strokes as episodes of MS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt first, I cried,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cI thought back to, throughout the military, getting called names because I failed my course, my signals course that I wanted so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, the diagnosis brought clarity and peace. The effects of a bad MS attack are literally crippling. Michelle and the medical staff had to help him re-learn how to walk, talk, and recognize his bodily functions. But unlike previous times, they now knew what medicines would help prevent future attacks and slow the disease\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thomas and Michelle have been together for 40 years, supporting each other through MS and multiple cancer diagnoses. Michelle has since beaten cancer twice, but it was during Thomas\u2019 cancer fight that they stayed at a Fisher House for the first time after years of using hotels or making long drives back and forth from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2448\" height=\"3264\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-1.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-1.jpeg.jpg 2448w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-1.jpeg.jpg?resize=225,300 225w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-1.jpeg.jpg?resize=768,1024 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-1.jpeg.jpg?resize=1152,1536 1152w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-1.jpeg.jpg?resize=1536,2048 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2448px) 100vw, 2448px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen he was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer six years ago,\u201d Michelle said. \u201cAnd <b>that\u2019s when we started to stay at the Fisher House, and that\u2019s one of the best things that\u2019s ever happened to us.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They had heard of Fisher House before and knew it was free but were surprised by both how lovely the Washington D.C. VA Fisher House is as well as the quality of the community that they found. Thomas needed three months of chemotherapy and radiation but wasn\u2019t the only veteran fighting cancer there. Michelle found a group of wives supporting each other. They would often work together to make dinners at the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>\u201cI cry when I think about the times that I\u2019ve had with other families before the pandemic,\u201d Michelle said.<\/b> \u201cWe would get together, and we would come up with meals, and we would say, \u2018Okay, I\u2019ll fry the chicken,\u2019 and someone else would do the corn, and somebody else would do whatever. Food is nourishment to the heart and having those people to be able to talk to, to help me, meant so much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-8.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-8.jpeg.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-8.jpeg.jpg?resize=225,300 225w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-8.jpeg.jpg?resize=768,1024 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-Thomas-and-Michelle-Queen-8.jpeg.jpg?resize=1152,1536 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The group would also bake desserts, play games, or watch TV together. They even share life events, like the births of their two grandchildren, with the other families and the house manager, Stacey Childs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That sense of community has continued as Thomas and Michelle return repeatedly to the Washington D.C. VA Fisher House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":67867,"menu_order":0,"template":"single-native-legacy","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"11"},"advertiser":[3455],"class_list":["post-34624","native","type-native","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","advertiser-fisher-house-foundation"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"NT45PSD2T5EKNOGTO7X7BUIOSA","arc_canonical_url":"\/native\/fisher-house-foundation\/2021\/11\/17\/family-finds-comfort-in-fisher-house-through-decades\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"native-layout","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented
