Match Highlight -- Elise and Margie

Meet Elise Williams and Margie Perkins from our UCF chapter!

Elise Williams and Margie Perkins are a perfect example of how small connections can grow into something special. Their friendship began in March, and right away their bubbly personalities clicked. They quickly discovered shared passions — from plants to books — and even started planning their own little book club.

Margie’s hypoallergenic pup has also become part of the story, slowly warming up to Elise as their visits continue. Their time together hasn’t always been picture-perfect; some meetings were cut short when Margie felt stressed or distracted. But Elise handled these moments with patience and understanding, always looking for new ways to bring joy and activities into their time together.

One of their most memorable meetings came when Margie’s friend joined in, turning their afternoon into a lively conversation about life, books, and the world around them. These moments of shared perspective have made their visits even more meaningful.

From dreaming up painting projects to sharing favorite reads, Elise and Margie’s friendship highlights the beauty of simple joys and genuine presence. Their connection continues to grow, rooted in kindness, patience, and a shared love of learning and nature.
