Happy Mother's Day

We hope you all had an enjoyable and exciting

day with your Mother or as did a lot of our

residents and came to our beautiful Brunch

that was held in our nearly full clubhouse.

John D and his very capable staff served

each a very lovely meal that was not only

timely but plentiful and hot.

Thank you Nancy D. for your tribute to all mothers.

We congratulate Delores H on winning

the 50/50 and hope she dosen't spend it all in 1 place!!

We also found out that dreams do really

come true for our Mothers when Bo & Pat A

brought his motorcycle in for Nettie to

have her first ride on a real bike. This was

a surprise to everyone and boy did she have

a wonderful ride around the park. We could

see her waving to all and smiling the whole time.

Bo & Nettie

Our deepest thanks for all the work these

cooks, servers and hosts did.

John you did an outstanding job.

So-how was your special day????

A Huge Thank You

I would like to thank everyone that helped make Norman's party a huge success. It was standing room only. Leave it to Norman to fill the club house plumb full. Thank you to the following people: Jeff and Joyce Roberts, Nancy and Lou Connors, Elizabeth and Karina Balderas, John W. Cox, Sr. for all the help in the kitchen; Kryse Manson, Manager made a beautiful picture album; Russell McDonald for helping set up tables; and also to all the wonderful people, too many to name for all the GOOD food. I think this was so much fun to see everyone happy and talking with each other ~ Lakewood Village family. We would like also to thank Reverend Bill Mead & his wife, Karen, for the song and service; Debbie Calvert for the card basket. If I left anyone off please forgive me, it was not done on purpose.
God Bless Our Lakewood Village Family.
From Carlos Balders and Jessie M Cox.

Happy Mother's Day

Yep! that's Nettie!

Come this Sunday, we will be celebrating
a special day to honor all our Mothers. Doors
open at 11:00 am. at the Village Clubhouse.

Be sure to put in you RSVP with

John D so that he can plan for everyone~

Can you believe it? 5 Generations!!

and 3 generations live here in the Village

I have the greatest honor! To be with my
Mother on this wonderful day.
You all know her in our Village as

Nettie and Grandmama,
she is seen at all of our functions. No one is
more active and bubbly than this
extraordinary woman of many talents.

She is surrounded by not only her many
friends here at home, but by her
blessed and loving family. We are very
grateful to our Oueen of mothers living
right here with us.

You undoubtedly have seen her peddling by
your place several times a day.

We all have this day to stop and think how
much we love our Mother's and what better
way to show it than to adopt one (any one)
who may need your love.

See you Sunday at the Clubhouse~

Who knows if maybe dreams really do come true.

Happy Mother's Day...

Happy Celebration..

Today the Village clubhouse held host to a

standing room only crowd as so many

came to pay their respects to the the

Emard family.

Bill and Karen M. conducted a tribute to Norman

and his wonderful caring family. The entire room

was silent as Karen sang several beautiful songs.

They brought tears to many.

Bill blessed the outstanding brunch and

our whole community. The food was wonderful

and certainly plentiful! It was certainly well

thought-out and well organized. The serving

team kept the platters full and even kept huge smiles

on their faces as they paid Norm this last tribute.

Bill read a letter from Patty that was a wonderful and

humorous summary of their life. Thank you Patty.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to those who willingly

spent the last few days fixing and

serving such an appreciative

time of friendship and love.

We know he was with us the whole time and saying

"Great job Barbara and thanks for fixing me my

favorite last meal. " We all know he

is watching to see how "his" Village flourishes.

It was a truly a wonderful tribute to Norm

from the many, many lives he touched.

Good-by and my love to all.................................................barb

update on those in the Park

Had some good words on several of our residents

that have been under the weather these pass few

weeks:

Bob O is back home after some surgery this past

week and seems to be doing well. Perhaps you

could stop by and have a chat with the big guy.

Glad to have you back home.

Miss Sally B. is back to her house and mighty

happy to be back home. We know she misses

seeing the people around her. Perhaps you

could call her and find when she could visit

with you. Way to go missy....

Have an address for our Joseph Tillman (A15)

The center is between Georgia & Delaware St.

off Okeechobee & Virginia Ave, in Ft. Pierce, Fl

You can mail him a card at 611 S. 13th St.

Room #30. He has been rather ill for some time

and would appreciate any cards you send.

Good Luck Joey.......

Marthame S. is now home after a stay in the

hospital and we sure do wish her a healthy

and happy week. We miss her wonderful

conversations at our functions and look

forward to her attending future ones.

Had notes from several of our former residents:

You all remember Hazel P & Ed, they have been

long time residents in the E section and have

returned north to be by Hazel's sister, Dorothy

M. whom also lived here for many years. The

family is doing just fine but have some rough

moments, so we are keeping them in our

prayers.

Ruth B. is home up north with her family and

is doing just fine. Really surprised as how well

things looked down here. Such a long winter and

really regret now not coming back to sunny Florida

and their second home in Lakewood Village.

John and Grace are faithful informants to me

and are so interested in what is happening to

all of us. They try to keep e-mailing me and

phone calls as to what they are up to. Both

really miss not being down here with all

their friends and adoptive family. We keep

them in our prayers daily.......

Mr. & Mrs. Michael Palazzo

Lookie Lookie.....

Mikie & Rita will be celebrating

their 61st...Wedding Anniversary on Saturday the 10th of May.

They will be winning and dining the night away at the I.P.

Those close to them know just what I'm

talking about.

The Village wishes them only the best of luck

in all they do......................barb

hugs to you both
