She said she was so happy to see everyone, and that she loved them all and missed the ones who where not with us. Then later she asked if Aunt Bernice(who is 96 and in a nursing home) was there. We said no, she could not make it. Mama said that was okay because she was there at 1:00 that am. I must have dosed off, because I was there and did not see my sweet Aunt...so sorry I missed her. But everything came together and it was a nice party. We are a truly blessed family.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497188616205025389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925147456188776908.post-44202623928474914062011-09-26T12:30:48.721-04:002011-09-26T12:30:48.721-04:00I am thankful that she did wake up and enjoyed som...I am thankful that she did wake up and enjoyed some of her party.
