Born in 1913, our sister in Christ has lived through wars, a depression, segregation, the passage of the 19th Amendment which gave women the right to vote in 1920, the election of the first African American President... and so many milestone historical events.
At the celebration, she spoke with clarity of her gratitude to her family, friends, church family, and to God for allowing her to celebrate this birthday.
Our pastor encouraged her, sharing that God knows her and loves her.
The celebration included songs, tribute speeches, a liturgical dance, cake and ice cream. It was a fine celebration fitting for a lovely lady who turned 106.
