Thank you so much for the wonderful Holiday Basket! It was filled with so many wonderful items. Please say thank you to the sisters for Xi Delta Kappa Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority and Sarah my delivery person.  Love and Peace. Mildred

Thank You! For the delicious, nutritious  food, yummies, treats, and other useful things. Especially heartwarming was being able to catch the person who carried the items (probably in multiple trips) upstairs to my  front patio before she disappeared to thank her and affect a distant hug. Thank you all so much!!!  Lois 

I want to thank everyone for the beautiful basket that was delivered to my door yesterday. I am truly  grateful! This is the first time I have ever received a Holiday Basket and this year was the perfect  time. I have had a couple medical issues this (heart surgery in June, then 3 weeks later a stroke) and  it has been very difficult. I am surviving alone except for a brother and sister-in-law who live in Min nesota. I was so very happy with the variety of items included in the basket. I want to thank all the  donors, the people who put the items together and also the couple who brought the basket to me.  This put me in the Holiday mood. I even made my bed in Christmas flannel sheets. My Sincere  Thanks, Debbie  

I wonder if you have any idea of how very much I love and appreciate all the time you spend organizing  and putting together, collecting donations and delivering these wonderful gift bags. Everything I  love and need. I haven’t had a tangerine or an apple for over 6 years, I think. I will be 76 on Decem ber 29 and I am pretty disabled and deaf on one side due to a viral infection I got when I deployed  as a volunteer for the State of Colorado Emergency Animal team during the Waldo Canyon fires.  The doctor thought I would get my hearing back, but it never happened, sadly. It’s hard to believe  that there are so many angels on this earth, but there are and that’s what all of you are. All my love  and gratitude. P.S. I was praying for stove top stuffing and bananas! Yay! Kris and 3 kittens 

I want to thank you for all the goodies I received plus the extra that I am not able to afford. What a big  help that was! God bless all of you and the volunteers that brought this bounty of love! Thank You  all! God Blesses all of you. Sincerely. Shirley 

I received a Christmas Basket on Saturday, December 19, 2020. I must say I was moved to tears. How  can I thank you and your helpers for such generosity? It was most kind of you to arrange such a  treat to many seniors such as myself. I am forever grateful. May God keep all of you healthy and  safe. Thank you for the most heartwarming gesture. Sincerely. Zonita  

Just want to say “Thanks a million for the wonderful food, gifts, and everything in the holiday basket  you gave me Saturday – it is all so very much appreciated. You made my Christmas so very much  better. I love everything, appreciate everything, and love you all. Thanks again for all you gave me  – it will help me so very much. Thank you very much – 3 sweet young people” who delivered it all – God Bless you all. I will have a great Christmas – thanks to all of you – who gave me so very much! I  can never thank you enough for all you did for me – God Bless You All for making my Christmas so  special. I’m just an old, lonely 77-year-old lady, who will always love you all for being so generous.  Love Orlane  

Telephone Buddy

I want to thank you for the Buddy Program. My husband, David, looks forward to the call each week from his Telephone  Buddy, Katie. Few people realize how lonely older people become when they develop dementia. Many of our  friends have simply “dropped off” since David is no longer able to carry on interesting conversation and he gets tired  of talking to me! The buddy call has been something that belongs just to him, and it is a source of personal  encouragement. Thanks for offering this opportunity for friendship to him. Yesterday we celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary. We were together with our children and grandchildren on Easter Sunday and had a wonderful  time. Sincerely, Dorothy 

Thanks to each of you there for the work you do!! It’s so very important! The special little touches such as the notes,  personal gifts, a piece of candy says you see the public who are in need as real flesh and blood people. Carolyn

I could kiss your team. I read the CGS flyer on switching a Plan F Medicare supplement to a plan G. I had  previously tried the same and could not get underwritten. CGS made me aware of the Colorado law and I  just accomplished the change, with a new plan underwritten thru Aetna, and am saving a net of $23  monthly. Big thanks to you and the team! Matt 

It would be nice if all seniors were able to benefit from and seriously enjoy your selflessness. Atif
