  11. Our deepest condolences on the passing of Sylvia. She was a breath of fresh air at Heritage Manor, someone whose presence could brighten even the quietest of days. Her love of music, her quick wit, her humour, and the kindness she showed to everyone around her made her an extraordinary woman and a joy to care for.

    Sylvia will be missed dearly by all who had the privilege of knowing her. We take comfort in imagining her running freely, singing boldly, and laughing out loud—just as I imagine she always did—wherever she is now.

    Our thoughts are with her devoted family, who have given so much of themselves in caring for both their Mum and Dad. May you find strength, peace, and gentle moments of comfort in the days ahead.

    Lots of love – Katie & the Lifestyle Team at Heritage Manor
