Today we celebrated Ms. Lettie’s 100 birthday. The afternoon was complete with family,
friends, balloons, music, food, and of course a birthday cake. To top it off, Willard
Scott sent birthday greetings.
Ms. Lettie shared a few remarks. In her speech, she reflected on
her faith, family, and her service to God in the church. While she has never
married or had children, Ms. Lettie helped raise her nieces and nephews. For
over eighty years, she has been faithful in service and attendance to church.
In addition, she has been a witness to history. When she was
seven, the Nineteenth Amendment passed giving women the right to vote. She saw
family members serve in wars and conflicts. She saw Jim Crow laws slowly fade away. She welcomed new babies and said so
long to other family members. She is a witness to how our congregation has
grown. She is now the oldest member in her family and our church family.
Ms. Lettie continues to
enjoy remarkable physical and mental health. This afternoon, Ms. Lettie
was surrounded by love and family, we thank God for His faithfulness.
