Attached you will see a photo of some of us celebrating Soror Lou Medlock, a Charter Member of Zeta Phi Omega Chapter, 87th birthday Sunday, August 21, her actual birthday.
 
We went all out!! We decorated the party room in pink and green, draped her in an AKA Wrap, pinned her with a Charter Member Pin and showered her with cards, gifts, cake and ice cream.  Soror Lou joined us in singing the National Hymn during the celebration.  I wish all of you could have witnessed the many smiles from her during the celebration.  As we were trying to place the birthday cards on the table, she reached for them and began reading them aloud. 
 
She was so happy.   Several time she stated that "she never expected anything like this".
 
She also told me that earlier in the day her husband had brought her some honey buns and she told him she guess they would eat honey buns together to mark her birthday.
 
Soror Lou is a resident of St. Joseph Nursing Home; her husband (of 62 years) is in the Assisted Living Section of the same facility.  He was brought over to share in the celebration.  There are other photos of him and more of Soror Lou and chapter members that will be available at Sorority Meeting.
 
In our preparation for the party, we were greatly assisted by a family friend who was the flower girl in their wedding.  In addition to Soror Lorraine Sparks, this lady looks after Soror Lou's well-being.  She only wants to be known as "The Flower Girl".
