LAST SEPTEMBER Doris Greaves joined the celebration for her lifelong friend Earl Quarless as he reached his milestone of 100 years.
Yesterday Greaves, known as “Mumsie”, also reached 100. But Quarless, whom she knew from the time she was 14 years old, was not around to share the moment with her as he had passed away.
Greaves however, was not alone. She celebrated with Governor-General Sir Elliott Belgrave and her family.
The Bow Road, St Michael resident reminded Sir Elliott that when she met him last September she told him that he would be visiting her in March this year.
The former Belleplaine, St Andrew resident shared a toast with Sir Elliott and told him stories of her life, including her love for cooking and God while sitting in her living room at Bow Road. (LK)
