    I was Sylvia’s neighbor in #206. When I moved in 2016 across from her she showed me kindness and love. When she would go to Sam’s Club she would bring something for me, calling to see if I was home and she would come across the hall with what she had for me. I know she is in a better home but #207 won’t be the same.
