Hi Eric! I'm happy to hear that you will be one of the speakers. She has always been so very proud of all her grandchildren in all their accomplishments and she'll be grinning from ear to ear during your speech. Her family is alway top priority with her. She had done a lot in her 100 years. She worked very hard all her life, running their own business with Grandpa (laudry, restaurant, or liquior/grocery store) til she retired at 65 yrs. old and started traveling occasionally, then the "cruising bug" bit her and have been cruising all over since ( China, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Portguel, Paris, New England coast, Canada, Panama Canal, several times each to Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska. Her last cruise was to Alaska with your Dad and Linda on June/July 2008, at almost 99 years old! Grandma and her sisters even traveled to Melbourne, Australia over 20 years ago and they spend over a month visiting their old childhood friend from China. We visited this same friend again just a few years ago on one of our port stops in Melbourne. Her favorite thing to do, when not traveling is playing Mah Jong 3 time a week and still winning! started with $100 in her "MJ petty cash" when she came home from Nursing home in March, she now have $200 in her MJ petty cash. we play for just one cent a point! 
She became a Great, Great Grandma at 98 yrs. old, 5 generations! 
let me know if you need any other information.

Subject:Grandma 100th birthday

Hi Aunt

I'm preparing a speech for grandma 100th birthday and maybe you can help me with some information since her 90th birthday, like how many cruises she done since her 90th any significant things that she done since then, what her daily activities have been, any different hobbies? how old she was when she became a great great grandmother.

Thanks

Eric Quan
