Wow! 103, what an accomplishment. FM123 Mar 2020 #1

Can you FaceTime her? Ten minutes a day, a daily ritual. Something for her to look forward to. lostnfound Mar 2020 #2

That's a good thought brokephibroke Mar 2020 #3

she had her faculties. Amazing people. In her late nineties she remembered a story about a old former slave who her family took care of during the day back in about 1902. She could mimic the old lady's accent perfectly 93 years later. She was riveted by that woman's stories.
