🌟 A Dream Come True! 🌟
Walt has written nearly 400 poems over the years with the dream of becoming a published author. When he shared this with Nona, she didn’t hesitate—“We can make that happen,” she said.
He handed her a book of his poems and trusted her with the rest. After lots of heart, time, and editing, Nona made it happen—just in time for Walt’s birthday! 🎉
📖 An Old Timer’s Pastime is now available!
Scan the QR code to grab your copy and support a lifelong dream brought to life. 💛

The Cardinal Mission
We invested significant thought and heart into shaping our Cardinal Mission. Along the way, we explored many beautifully crafted versions—each thoughtful, eloquent, and full of meaning. But we kept returning to the core of what truly matters to us.

We didn’t want something long-winded or easily forgotten.
We wanted something simple, strong, and lasting.

So what defines our mission?

Care. Comfort. Compassion. Cardinal.

Four powerful words.
Memorable. Meaningful. Impactful.

They remind us—and everyone we serve—what we stand for.
We ask our team to bring Care, Comfort, and Compassion into every interaction. And when they hear Cardinal, we want them to remember our Cardinal Guiding Virtues—the principles that shape every moment of our service.
