After the grand celebrations of her centenary last year, Beryl’s family opted for a more intimate gathering this time, with the support of the Park House team.

The occasion was marked with a special family brunch in the memory care floor lounge, where Beryl enjoyed quality time with her daughter Margaret, son-in-law Charley, son Derek, and daughter-in-law Michelle. Adding to the joy of the day, Beryl’s grandson also made a visit, bringing along her great-grandchild to share in the celebration.

To make the day even more memorable, Beryl’s room was decorated with birthday banners, and she was delighted to receive a large 101st birthday helium balloon. An especially handmade birthday card and a beautiful bouquet of flowers were also presented to her as tokens of love and appreciation.
