Sample family reviews
From Morris County families
My grandmother lived here in 1995. Now my mother does. Same porch, same pie, and Rita knew both of them.
Dad farmed outside Dwight for sixty years. They let him feed the hens every morning, and he has opinions about every one of them.
Tyler sat with me for two hours sorting out the VA paperwork. He would not let me leave until it was done right.
We live in Kansas City. The weekly phone call from Gail is how I know my mother is doing well, and it has never once been late.
Mother taught first grade in White City for thirty-one years. Two of her old students work here now. She still calls them by their last names.
The quilt they finished in the parlor last winter is on my bed. Mom put in about three stitches and supervised the rest.
When Dad passed, the whole staff came to the funeral. That is Council Grove, and that is Elm Hollow.
Come sit on the porch that's faced the river since 1987.
