Good Samaritan Society residents receive Valentine’s Day Surprise


SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - “Good Samaritan Society is a place of love. It’s just a special place,” said Shari Smith, a retired teacher who surprised residents with roses.

“It means a lot. It means once we’re here, people don’t forget about us,” said resident Floyd Johnson. “They know we’re here, and it’s really nice, especially on Valentine’s Day to have them do something special for us.”
