BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Tuesday afternoon, I had the honor of attending a Centennial Birthday Celebration for 3 amazing women at Courtenay Springs Village in Merritt Island.

Tuesday was actually Martha Eastep’s 103rd birthday, while 2 of her friends Doris Woodard turned 102 and Mary Ferrigno turned 100 within the last week. Their close friend Suzanne, invited myself and members of our Command Team including Chief Alan Moros who was also celebrating his 53rd Birthday today, to take part in the festivities.

The Birthday celebration was an incredible time with plenty of friends who all joined together to make the event very special for the three ladies.

Please join me in wishing these three amazing women a Happy Birthday and a great year ahead as we look forward to celebrating again with each of them next year.

I would like to personally thank Suzanne Jamieson for inviting us to the celebration, the entire Courtenay Springs Staff for everything they did to make today special and all of the residents who joined us in wishing everyone a very Happy Birthday.
