“Mum , after a lifetime of caring for everyone young and old, we got to care for and spoil you for a bit, now it is time for a well earned peaceful rest, love you always!”

A huge thank you to Sally Reid and all those that supported us during Mum’s illness and to Burlington Village Staff thank you for your wonderful care of Mum and us! You made her final month comfortable and happy.
