She leaves a legacy of being a very determined, strong-willed woman, with a kiss to the hand for all those she loved and a smile to warm your heart. “A smile costs nothing but gives much, it enriches those who give it, it takes but a moment but the memory lasts forever.” Sylvia & Rob will remember always the compassionate devotion and comfort given to Mom and to themselves by the Lodge staff during the last few days of her life – she is truly at peace now.
