WOW! Just look at her how great she looks! Look her up online for the full story. What an amazing lady! Reminded me of Moses right out the gate, well except that she is female. Her birthday is our anniversary, so I'll check to see her next year. I just thought this lady is so amazing that I wanted to share her picture with everyone. I didn't read the full story, but she has great great grandchildren and she is a doctor. Absolutely amazing!
