Thank You - Thanks for family and friends, Mom’s 106^th birthday party on June 18, 2009, was great.  She really enjoyed her day and claims she didn’t even get tired. A big thank you to all who came; to Oakbrook Health & Rehab for the wonderful assistance; to Mom’s pastor, Daniel Welch, for leading us in prayer; to Ed Nayes, whose singing pleases her; and to Dean Hubbard, who she baby sat 90 years ago, for his singing and telling all about it. The cards she received that day also in the mail are beautiful.  Thank you.  Leonard, Regina (Doody) and Helen.
