Mom's 90th Pre-Birthday Celebration
April 29, 2021
The family threw a huge birthday party for Mom up north; however, about a week before the big celebration, we had a smaller get together at Court Street Village where Mom lived for many, many years. We had a musician, Duane Freeman, playing the keyboard and singing motown songs that Mom loved. Local family and her friends at Court Street Village attended. We served cake and ice cream. It was simple, intimate, and very sweet. One of the City Commissioners, Monica Gallagher, also came to celebrate with us. She presented Mom with a Certificate of Recognition for being a resident of Flint, MI for more than 50 years (about 75 to be exact), and for Mom's contributions to the community.
