“When my wife died, I thought I would sit in front of the TV and die. Now I spend three days a week with ‘My Little Angels.’ They call me ‘Grandpa’ when they see me in the hallways!”—Elmer O’Keefe, independent living resident
“My son has grown so much since he has been here. He is only 2 years old, but will talk all night at dinner about his activities and doing ‘fun stuff’ with the residents.”—Shannon Plattner, mother of Children’s Village student
“It brightens the day when I share time with the children who know I love them. We share hugs, books, puzzles and games. They are the grandchildren I do not have living near.”—Vivian Purvis, independent living resident
