Her 90th speech I did

When we think of love and kindness we think of grandma whose birthday we are celebrating tonight. I use the word celebrate because 90 years of loving and giving is well worth celebrating.

Grandma has seen a lot of world history in her lifetime, she has seen 2 world wars, first man to walk the moon, presidents come and go and the introduction to the internet to name some. Being a woman, though she has always been more interested in the coming and going of her own family. I have to say , she herself has done a lot of coming and going. I believed it been 10 plus cruises in four years, on my last count. Also I have to say too, that my brothers and sisters were glad that she liked crusing so much, because it meant wth we were taking to mexico with her.

Everyone of would describe grandma differenly. she was a wife, mother, a neighbor and a great friend to name a few. More May Remember her from one of her many business she owned, the laundry service in berkelely, a chinese restaurant in Albany and an corner store in San francisco. I can remember asking her all kinds of questions when i was young. Once while she was baby sitting my little brother and I , there some pictures on the wall. I asked here "Grandma, what does the chinese writing say?? she told us with a grin on her face "it means, good boys don't give grandma a hard time". I guess we were acting up!!

I have to say i can't think of grandma without mentioning grandpa,  they were an ideal couple and the best grandparent one could ask for, they were certainly my favorite baby-sitters. As many of you know grandpa was a great artist, I'm sure most of here remeber his 90th birthday, where a lot of his art work was on display. Grandma's work however cannot be put on display. what she has done is to love, car and listen to her family and friends. She even helped my brother and I with a down payment on our first house. as far as i'm concern she is WONDERFUL.

So I'm glad we are having this party tonite. I have to say too that i'm even more glad that my finance Kathleen has been here to support me in my 1st public speaking efforts. I like to thank mom, dad and aunt marilyn and uncle jack who organize this party tonight. I would also like to thank my little brother tony and his stock broker who help pay for half the Chevis Regal on our table tonite.

On a final note, ladies and gentelman, familly and friends 
Lets raise our glasse in a toast
TO grandma and her heart of gold
Happy birthday Grandma, we all love you very much
