A message from Jose’s granddaughter: My grandma passed away almost 10 years ago and ever since, my grandpa, Jose, has been lonely. Me and my parents are always so busy at work and school, so we never have time to visit him. He loves to go to his local church and help out. He retired from an amazing career in mechanics, so he loves to fix things. He loves to watch soccer games, especially the Colombian team. We used to do puzzles together when I was little. My grandparents are both from Colombia, so we grew up speaking Spanish. He loves to make Colombian foods and loves to celebrate his culture. My grandpa still lives in the house where many have grown up in Tampa, Florida.

A message from Rosemarie’s granddaughter: My grandmother, Rosemarie, is 91 years old and lives independently in Kingston, ON. Rosemarie loves a good cup of tea and has shared many special moments teaching her grandchildren how to play cribbage. She is very social and has made many friends in her building, but I think receiving cards would bring her extra joy and brighten her days. A thoughtful note from someone new would mean a lot to her and remind her how appreciated she is.

A message from Margaret’s granddaughter: She is a super sweet and cool lady that LOVES playing cards and sudoku! She enjoys watching birds and other wildlife outside on her balcony. She is from Michigan and has 4 children. She enjoys helping other elderly people in her community. She likes watching the weather come in off Lake Michigan. She is a greatgreatgrandmother and her favorite restaurant is Taco Bell! I know that a few kind words would really brighten her day!
