Family finds way to safely celebrate grandmotherโs 99th birthday despite coronavirus outbreak
There should have been a big party with hugs and kisses to celebrate Mary Mikolaโs near-century on this earth. โSince we canโt be with her, we made signs and we are going to the lawn outside her assisted living center and we are going to sing her Happy Birthday,โ Derupa said. โAll of her great grandchildren are here and two of her grandchildren and all of their spouses are here,โ Maryโs great granddaughter, Brittany said. Inside, the aides at the Cunningham Trenton Senior Assisted Living center guided Mary to the big picture window out front. As the family started to sing Happy Birthday, you could see the emotion on both sides of the glass.
