Mrs. Venny Pineda, whose husband is one of our beloved residents at Regency Heritage in Somerset, NJ, was in for a beautiful surprise this morning at 10am!

You will recall our recent Father’s Day Contest  and $100 Giveaway.

Venny’s daughter, Emily, posted a poignant piece, with an accompanying photo on our Regency Facebook page and got some great feedback.

Emily was subsequently declared the winner of the contest.

Venny is as devoted a spouse as ever there was, and she visits her husband almost every day.

Well, this morning, the Gross family dropped in for a surprise visit to present her with the $100 gift award for her daughter Emily!!

Their heartfelt expression of thanks to the family for entrusting Regency with the care of their loved one, and the palpable and hallmark warmth which they exuded, was deeply appreciated by Mrs. Pineda and there was nary a dry eye in the crowd!

I captured these few images!
