She would start by going through the parking lot and stopping at the group of high school boys who were always gathered at their trucks, and make sure they were behaving themselves. Then she would go into the school, stop at the office and make her rounds giving hugs. Every morning it was the same routine. When her daughter Rosemary found out what we were doing she couldn’t wait to help us out and get her to the school. Jean was so surprised and enjoyed every hug and even got to harass some of the teachers.

"I must write this letter to you, and thank you for what you provided for me without you probably ever knowing. Since Mom moved in 2 and half years ago I have also seemed to move in. I spent many days and nights with her. You cannot imagine how much I loved it. To be with mom, assist her, care for her, share with her, how she was… it was incredible. So peaceful and loving. I will never forget all that special time. Thank you and your staff (all of them), also treated with the kindness of family. I guess I wanted you to know this and how it made me so happy, who would ever think this could have been allowed."

Challman - Jean
Jean is a hugger.Every morning she gives each staff member a hug to start their day right. Before Jean lived with us, she would go around town every morning and give hugs. She would hit every store in town giving hugs to anyone and everyone that crossed her path. Her favorite place to go was the High School.

Wanberg - France
France is an amazing man. Every morning he states “I’m very dedicated to my family, my country, and my God." France has lived with us since 2012 when the Ridge opened. He truly loves life and every part of it. France is our story teller, he will tell us anything about his life.
Among some of the favorite stories are his WW2 days, the first date with his wife, and all the memorable moments about all his grandchildren. France is always positive and has a joke. “He who shoots the most bull, has the nicest garden” (Snicker Snicker), this is by far his favorite joke to the ladies on staff. However the story he told about being the Post Master in Galva for 27 years really stood out. So we went to work on making a dream come true. Darcy, Keith, and his family couldn’t wait to make this happen. He rode with Keith for hours on his old route. I’m not sure who enjoyed it more Keith or France. This is now one of his favorite stories to tell.
