Exceptional job
I wanted to make sure you knew what an incredible job Sylvia did for my Mom's 100th birthday Saturday. When the family arrived, she had already decorated the area and greeted us early so everyone could get checked in and we could set up the cake presents and cards. She showed mom each of the cards and then went through the picture binder we brought page by page with her. What was truly amazing was my mom's reaction to the party. She enjoyed the cards and pictures. She made small jokes, laughed and smiled. She seemed to know everyone. It was such a wonderful celebration for our family!
