Dreams Come True

Margaret Williams, who is in the dementia unit at South Brook Nursing Home, is 99 years old and in a wheelchair. Margaret's dream was to enjoy a ride around Springfield to see the sites. She used to live on Pleasant St. and would enjoy going past her old home, plus seeing Snyder Park and Davy Moore Park.

The Senior Dream Center sprang into action. Traci Skeen from Jackson Lytle & Williams Funeral Home took their limo to Southbrook Care Center, picked up Margaret, Edith Hardy (Margaret's legal guardian) and Southbrook employees Stacy Walton and Robin Jordan and took a grand tour of the west end of Springfield.

The tour included Margaret's old neighborhood, Snyder Park and the Upper Valley Mall, which Margaret had never seen before. Then everyone had lunch at the Olive Garden. (Lunch was also on Jackson Lytle & Williams Funeral Home.)
