Yes. My mother's mother also lived to be 99.5. In fact, we were all planning on visiting her on her 100th birthday in Germany, but she did not make it. I had seen her half a year earlier with my husband and daughter. She was at that point living in a senior home for about a year. We would enjoy signing with her group of people that she sang with a couple of times a week, and just hanging out. She had last visited us in the US at the age of 93 even though she was completely blind. My mom at 91 would not be able to travel by herself, even if she had some assistance from the airline. I got some stories out of her and my mom. I treasure them and should perhaps write them down.
Nice response, but I am amazed at your great grandmother living 109 years! And your mom is 91. Healthy women.

Mine both passed a few years ago at 91, a couple years apart. I miss them. Write stuff down. Ther's a lot of little things I'd like to ask them about.
Thanks Michael. I will write things down.
