The cove will never be the same without our sweet Viv (or Granny as a lot of us would call her ). Those hugs were the absolute best and that big ole smile. You were always up for anything especially if it involved coffee or some chocolate ice cream. ❤️ Thank you to her family for choosing us at Warm Hearth to take care of her and for giving us the pleasure to get to know her and love her.

She loved her coffee and loved giving hugs and we always loved receiving those hugs too! She will be missed so much !!! Every single employee that knew her, loved her. I will miss taking care of her.
