24/02/2026: We held our Mothers final send off at Silver Springs. Everything was perfect, even when we had the traditional sing song at the end of the day when other people were eating in the restaurant was not a problem. The food was first class and we had table service for the drinks which was lovely. Thanks to all the staff who were really kind and nothing was a problem.
