"Winnie is an example of what all
of us would like to be at 98 year

down the hall and has made many
good friends here at the Manor. She
cares about everyone and likes to
visit other residents and their fami-
lies."
She also has a wonderful sense of
humour and is always ready to have
fun.
She enjoys visits and special treats
from her family. This past
