Violet Harkless Celebrates 90! {Surprise!!!}

By 5:30pm on Saturday evening, the Henderson civic center was full of family(many from other states), friends, community members, and even the Mayor of Henderson. Over 100 people joined in one place- to celebrate the 90th birthday of Violet Harkless. That basically tells you the kind of person Violet Harkless is, and the way she has lived her life- full of love, family, God, caring for others, giving of herself, and trying to make this world a better place. And boy was she surprised!! The look on her face when she realized the people who had traveled to see her was priceless!

I only met her when Brian and I started dating, and immediately she was Grandma Harkless to me.  It has been a blessing to get to know her, and spend time with her over the past four years, and I always feel so blessed to be a part of this family.

Happy Birthday Grandma Harkless! Here is to 90 more years! :)
