We have an update to the uplifting story we mentioned yesterday about senior citizens looking for pen pals. The residents at Hillside Medical Lodge in Gatesville, TX went viral and caught the eyes of some major corporations. Miss Billie simply posted that her interests are family and Dr. Pepper.
Not long after the picture was added to Facebook, the Texas-born soft drink company delivered 16 cases of unsolicited product for Miss Billie and her friends!
In addition to the free soda and special-edition bottles, Miss Billie received her first pen pal letter. I think her expression says it all!
If you'd like to make a new friend, you can see the available pen pals here. Any correspondence can be sent to:
