“Our son is loving the ‘loved one’ gatherings! They have really been a wonderful addition to his monthly activities and socializing … which he does not do a lot of. I want you to know that these virtual gatherings are meaningful to him, and you have made it super easy for him to join and feel included as a new participant.”
