| My mom turned 90 years old on Sunday, December 1, 2013. She was born on that date in 1923. She owes her longevity to her daily glass of wine!!! |

| Just a bit surprised when she discovers who traveled a long way to attend her party!!! My husband and I flew up from Florida to Massachusetts to enjoy this great event! She did not know we would be there! |

She was overwhelmed with emotion when she saw how many guests had attended in her honor. After the meal guests were asked to tell a funny story about mom! There were many! She is a character and says whatever is on her mind! For the most part she gets away with it! She was also presented with the book that I wrote, The Promise of a Better Life. The story of her family and the legacy that they have left behind. She danced the night away! Crying, laughing and screaming that she was, Queen for a Day! My beautiful mom! We are so blessed to have her! She has taught us the true meaning of love and family. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!! |
