Never underestimate the impact of a small group of people. They

can literally change the world! Such is the case with Mrs. Adeline

Trahan’s family, made up of three children, eight grandchildren

and 19 great-grandchildren. In loving memory of Mrs. Adeline on

(what would have been) her 75th birthday, the family donated

$750 to benefit the Alzheimer's Association: The Longest Day.

Her story started many years ago as a local girl from Esterwood. She

grew into a positive role model for those who knew her and a very

cherished memory of her family. Alzheimer’s Disease steals lots of

things, but it can’t rob her of her beautiful and lasting legacy.

Let’s all be like the Trahan family and support the Alzheimer’s

Association...so that one day we can find our first survivor!

Southwind resident, Ms. Josephine Clark,

greeted a few special surprise visitors last

month at our facility! Her granddaughter, her

granddaughter’s mother, and her two great-

grandchildren dropped by to visit with Ms.

Josephine and brighten her day.

Southwind residents gathered one very hot

summer afternoon to create one of Mother

Nature's most beloved 'bugs', the butterfly. With

the use of coffee filters, markers, pipe cleaners,

clothespins and their imaginations, they really

came up with some beautiful creatures to hang

in each of their rooms.

Southwind’s entire staff and beloved residents enjoyed a delicious Fourth of July

barbecue. The barbecue was complete with all the trimmings and was followed by

juicy, ice-cold watermelon. Everyone in attendance seemed to enjoy their day as

we honored the good ol’ USA. We would like to thank our administrator Jerad and

all our team members who helped make this a most memorable holiday!

Mr. Allen Bourgeois spent some time recently

with our residents. Our loved ones felt very

blessed that he came to sing ‘Songs About

Jesus’ and to spread the Good Word. They

greatly enjoyed Mr. Allen’s singing and

prayer.
