Grandma Turns 90
My maternal grandmother, Helen Welker, turned 90 on October 18, 2004. Two days before that, my two brothers and their spouses, along with one niece and nephew, surprised Grandma with a "happy birthday" visit at her independent living facility in Van Wert, Ohio. Grandma passed away in May 2007.
