100 years!

A very special friend of ours is turning 100 years old this week.  She was a neighbor to us in our first house and has held a very special place in our hearts ever since.  She grew up an only child and never married, so she thought of us as the family she never had.  She is having a birthday party on Thursday, so we are taking the kids out of school early in order to attend this very special event.  It's not everyday you get to attend the birthday party of someone turning 100.

Since she doesn't have any family, I wanted to see if some of my family and friends would do me a big favor.  Could you send her a card?  She doesn't have to know you, just sign your card stating you are a friend of the Sullivan's.  It doesn't have to be a 100th birthday card, or even a store bought card.  Handmade is just fine.

Her address is:
 Eleanor Flynn
(Samaritan Place)
6901 N Galena Rd
Peoria, IL 61614-3164


Her birthday is this coming Thursday, March 8th and I know receiving lots of notes will brighten her day and mine!   


Thank you,

SO sweet. We have a special place in our hearts for the nursing home folks...I'll be sure to send one out tomorrow, even though it will be late.
