"Laughter is the Best Medicine!" as one of the residents always voices. It truly is and these residents are really getting into it. Our little friend is voice-activated and keeps on laughing, even rolling over with laughter at times. It is so much fun!

Ruth Kreitzer was born laughing, she loves to tease and "cut up" with her friends and she loves to see people smile. She remembers at the butterfly release last year she told an unsuspecting subject that she had been up all night making raincoats for the butterflies for their first adventures into the real world. We are still chuckling about that prank….Ruth loves people and that is why she moved to St. Leonard, today she says that she loves everything about St. Leonard because it is a place that is easy to make new friends.
Ruth's advice to others is to remember that people learn to be mean and that they are not born that way. A smile can be a gift from God and being friendly with others draws them out and keeps them from missing the happiness that can be found everywhere they look.
