Park Place resident Tom Shields joins his daughter Kerry Shields Foley who brought gourmet donuts from her shop, Duck Donuts, located in Mason, Ohio. Kerry brought a Duck Donuts gift bag for each Park Place resident.
Kerry Shields Foley left the Cincinnati area in the very early hours of April 26 to make a special trip to Elmhurst to wish a happy birthday to her father, Tom Shields, who lives at Park Place of Elmhurst. What made this visit a delicious surprise was that Kerry brought along gourmet doughnuts from Duck Donuts, a gift for each resident in honor of Tom’s 80th birthday.
Kerry, owner of the Duck Donuts shop in Mason, Ohio, gave each resident their own package with a cinnamon sugar doughnut and a chocolate doughnut with birthday sprinkles. These gifts were left at each resident’s doorway in the afternoon of April 26.
The Park Place residents appreciated the sweet gift and Tom was grateful for the love he felt, from both his family and his neighbors.
“As my 80th birthday approached, I was wondering how I would feel,” Tom said. “My daughter Kerry surprised me by announcing that she was bringing Duck Donuts for everyone. Then I was overwhelmed by the number of birthday cards and good wishes I received on my birthday from my Park Place family. All I can say is a thank you to everyone who helped make my birthday so special. I will never forget the warm feelings they’ve given me.”
