    I'm glad her day turned out so well and that you and so much of her family was able to help her celebrate the milestone. Time passes too quickly and if one doesn't take advantage of an opportunity such as this it could be devastating later. Please pass along my happy birthday wishes to her. And thanks for sharing this with us.
