My Grandma Juanita would have turned 95 today. Instead, she celebrates her birthday in Heaven.

Esther,
Happy Birthday to your Grandma who is in heaven.Did you know that Our Lady of Medjugorje told one of the visionary's that our birthdays are celebrated in Heaven.Isn't that wonderful.Our birthday is the day that the Lord gave us the gift of Life.So Our Lord celebrates that.
I also love Saint Anthony and he is my patron saint. My middle name is Anthony. I also went to Saint Anthony Catholic School from grade 5 to grade 9 when I was a child.Saint Anthony has helped me many times in my life.When I was 19years old I had an instant healing of a stomach ulcer when I prayed to St. Anthony.
