Gordon is a friendly guy who loves to talk and reminisce about his life, especially about his wife Fedela. One day Gordon mentioned to Francisco that Fedela used to make him spice cake with raisins every year for his birthday. Gordon described how moist and delicious the cake was and how he missed his wife terribly. So on Gordon’s birthday Francisco personally baked him a spiced cake with raisins just the way Gordon described it. Francisco brought it to him during lunch while all of the BFMs and residents sang Happy Birthday. Gordon was so touched by such a personal gesture.

Our residents in Mary B's love their morning coffee. Knowing that one resident, Genevieve loves Munchkins donuts from Dunkin Donuts, Brittany thought she would surprise her and the other residents with the donuts to have with their coffee. When Genevieve saw the donuts she smiled and thanked Brittany for making her day. All the residents were very happy and asked for more.

There is not a day that goes by that Millie doesn't talk about her family. One day, her niece and nephew were driving from Wisconsin back home to Arkansas with their dogs in tow and thought they would stop by and visit their Aunt Millie. Since Millie was already sitting in the dining room ready to have lunch, Rene asked them if they would all like to have lunch together in the private dining room with their dogs. They were all very happy to be able to eat lunch together. Millie and her family stayed in the private dining room for two hours reminiscing about the good old days.
