Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3546437, member: 591"] God Bless!!! My Mom's mind went at about 93 / 94ish, though the body struggled on till age 97. So happy for you. The oldest folks I have met were both just about 100. "Mrs. Obermeyer" was my mother's landlady for part of the time when she was quite little, and I guess spent a long hard-working life. Nearing 100, she was flying back and forth to Florida regularly, to care for her similarly aged, but younger, sister who had terminal cancer. At her 100th birthday party she looked like 80. The other was my Great (and Great again)-Aunt Mary Heiser (i.e. my Grandmother's aunt), who lived in the area of Pennsylvania where part of my family arose. She lived at home with her not-so-young son and wife. I only remember meeting her once, she was proudly bragging (correctly) that part of an episode of a TV western had recently been filmed in her backyard. We visited after her death and I remember her son giving my mother a strand of Jet beads (coal) that had been in the family for over 100 years as a rememberance. So, again, so happy that your Mom is doing so well. [/QUOTE]
