The family of Rose Sherman gathered at a window at the Village Green Nursing Home on Saturday morning, to wish her a happy 104th birthday.
It was a very joyous occasion, Rose was all smiles and in good spirits, talking to her family via cell phone at the window.
After her family sang Happy Birthday, Rose took some time in blowing out the single candle on her cupcake, but eventually she made her wish.
Happy Birthday Rose!
