Happy Birthday, Gertrude Weaver

TWIT would like to wish Gertrude Weaver a very happy birthday.  She turned 116 yesterday.  That makes Gertrude the oldest living person in the U.S. and the second oldest in the world.   Of course, reporters asked Gertrude her secret to longevity.  She told him there were three factors to living such a long life, and I quote:
"Trusting in the Lord, hard work, and loving everybody.  You have to follow God.  Don't follow anyone else.  Be obedient and follow the lows and don't worry about anything.  I've followed the Lord for many, many years and I ain't tired."  

Well said, Gertrude, well said.
