I dont think it says anywhere that she was 101 years old! It should thats quite a flex. She would complain about it tho. She often said ” i didnt know this was going to happen to me” I would respond with β€œ its your own fault for not drinking or smoking your whole life!” And i would offer her a beer or a whiskey at family gatherings. And she would always laugh and say β€œ no thank you.” Not many people get to meet their great great grandchildren. I think thats a good reason to live a long life. And she touched all of our hearts. I for one will always cherish her memory. Gram if you can read this please find Mimi shes looking for you in heaven. Love you gram. RIP - your favorite grandson
