A Very Happy Daughter

Dave Roberts gave us our first tour. Than several days later we returned with my mother for a second tour & lunch. We had intended to visit several places but, after we meet Dave & the staff it was love at first sight!! Kathy @ the desk, Bill the bus driver & Linda in the office are all top notch! The ladies and young man in the dining room couldn't have been better! Every staff member we pass greets us with a big "hello and can I help you!" I think this is going to be a very positive experience and only wished we had done it sooner.
