This is my mom asking me if I liked what she wrote in a Birthday card to her Great Grandson who turned 13 on April 1, 2018. What she wrote was fine. She'll be 109 years of age on May 9th. When she's in the mood, she has some serious stories.

Wow!! Rocco, your Mom did something right. Longevity is a gift from God. She certainly honoured her parents! And she looks incredible for her age. May God continue to keep His hand of blessing upon your Mother (& you guys).
