TESTIMONIALS
"
I've been a Wellington resident for one year now, having come from Orlando FL. This is the "home town" I've yearned for.... for my entire nearly 70 years. The people are the kindest and friendliest I've ever met. Every time we go out to a store, etc.... people hold doors, visit with us, offer assistance WITH a SMILE too. I'm this side of heaven. I can't wait for each day to start.
Thank you everyone. We will meet you too eventually...lol
