Each day of that October month, we made a big deal of celebrating her. On this day (October 9th, 2012), I gave her &#8220;The Last of the Good Clean Jokes&#8221; Book. It was to honor her, and her great sense of humor. I think that\u2019s one of her most precious characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>She has always enjoyed laughing with others\u2026..and even at herself. I love how she doesn&#8217;t take herself so seriously that from time to time, she makes fun of herself. She&#8217;s looked at the bright side of life, when she could have been in despair. I really believe the scripture, \u201cA merry heart does good like a medicine\u201d, and that has been one of the main prescriptions she&#8217;s taken over the years, and that\u2019s why she looks and acts so young\u2026..and why so many can\u2019t believe that on October 31st, she&#8217;ll turn \u201c92\u201d!!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m so thankful to her for showing us all that there\u2019s a better way to live life than being gloomy, sad and in despair! I love her so much and I thank her for laughter and joy!! This is one of her light-hearted times with her daughter, Karen Wuerch Rose.
