Visit With Stena

We stopped and spent an hour with Stena at the residential care home where she lives in Petaluma. She walked into the room to greet us using her walker. She is the same sweet lady we have known for years. Although her eyesight isn't very good, she is still able to read large-print books, and reads many. Note the book on the bed behind her. She is currently reading an autobigraphy of Jimmy Carter. She says she is enjoying it because his early years were much like her own. She has a bulletin board with pictures of our grandchildren. She asked about each of our children and their children...remembering them by name. She is amazing! She says she is ready to go, but still enjoys life at age 103! She would enjoy receiving a card from anyone. She also loves to get pictures. Her address is: Stena Merrill Our House Residential Care 201 Tahola Lane Petaluma, CA 94954
