My German grandmother lived to be 100 and was one smart lady. Of course, by 100 she had pretty much lost her hearing and eyesight but her mind was sharp. When I would go to visit, I would hold her hand and yell into her "good" ear that it was me - I can still picture her face lighting up and her saying " Oh, Hi"!! We knew she was failing and wondered if she would be able to celebrate her 100th - well, she rallied and was the life of the party and the last one to leave. It was a great day! She passed away 1 month later.
