Dr. Virginia A. Simpson

Grief CounselorI would love to see people have compassion for each other, so that no one would have to hide their sadness. I wish, when someone lost someone to death, people would ask what that person meant to you , rather than placing a label on the loss and assuming it meant nothing, thereby leaving you alone when you most need their love and friendship. I would like people to tell children the truth about life. Teach them at a very young age about death, when they are curious, so they wont have to grow up afraid.

Don and Pat Tourigney

RetiredDon-My dream (American) is really a compilation of little dreams that sort of is a mosaic of all these dreams throughout my life. My dream is at the end of my life, to have this Mosaic of dreams completed to the point where people admire it as my life’s accomplishments.
Pat-I truly believe I have lived my dream – being fortunate enough to be living in retirement with my soul-mate in a 55+ community. Many activities are available and keeping mind and body active is a priority – not only for us, but all the great friends who share our community. Travel around this beautiful country is the perfect ending to my dream.

Jerry and Sandy Goldstine

RetiredJerry-My dream is for American to be a place where everyone, regardless of the circumstances to their birth, can live without fear and realize their personal dreams through desire, education and hard work.
I am living my personal dream, I’m retired, healthy, and enjoying life with someone I love.
Sandy-I have had a wonderful life, my dream was to have three beautiful daughters and my dream came true. My dream was to have a successful career to be able to support my daughters and that dream came true. Creams change, my dream in my declining years is to have happiness, health and overall well being for my family, to grow old with my caring husband and watch my daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren achieve their dreams.
