Happy Birthday Ms. Della! That is a milestone that few have had the honors of passing. Many more years to you!!
Happy birthday! You had the first 100th birthday party I have ever went to & was glad to be there! God bless you. You were the best mother-in-law anyone could ever have and Great Gramma Della for my girls- Latasha and Jennifer. You treated them just like your full blooded grandchildren and yes, you told them you would bite their ears off. You always made sure you called everyone on their birthday and always called to check on everybody. You was always so caring and concerned. You’re the best. We love you!
Happy birthday to a wonderful lady!! Della would babysit for me when I was a child and I remember how she was so loving and caring. I still talk about going to Della’s when I was a child because those memories were so wonderful. She really made a great impression on my life and I will always remember that. Thank you Della. Love you!!
When I saw her pic, I thought, “Who is this lady who looks like my Grandma?” Hey, Della Godwin, that’s my Grandma’s sister! God, how I loved visiting her when I was a kid. She was always so much fun and knew how to make people laugh! Happy Birthday, Aunt Della!
Grandma, I love you with all of my heart. I am so happy to be your grand-daughter. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories that I can cherish from my childhood. I know that you wanted to “bite my ears off a time or two” but I made it thru. You are the most wonderful person. You have the sweetest soul. We could all take a lesson of kindness and forgiveness straight from your book. From your mouth straight to God’s ear. Happy Birthday you dear wonderful Woman, with all of my love. ~
Whoo hoo Aunt Della! Happy Birthday we love ya bunches!
Ms Della has always been a wonderful lady.she use to babyset for me and my sister she was the best!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS DELLA LOVE YA!
I can’t even start to imagine all the great things you must have seen and done over these 100 years… It is almost hard to comprehend the amount of change you personally have witnessed over the years in both the social and ethical ideals of America as well as technology … I am, quite honestly, envious. Happy birthday Ms. Godwin!
WOW! Happy Birthday Ms Godwin an many more.
Wishing you A very very happy birthday!
