Happy 102 Birthday goes to Constance Furnare.  She remains very sharp physically and mentally.  Two years ago, she was an honor guest at the Hilton Hotel who celebrated with all the bells and whistles their 100 Anniversary in business.   God has blessed her in many ways.  Biltmore’s Executive comped them with two beautiful suites for two nights plus meals.  There was an orchestra, entertainment, and dancing for all the festivities with cocktails and dinner.   On arrival, she was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.  Many pictures were taken during the entire evening in her honor.  She certainly received the “RED CARPET” treatment.  The smiles on her face told the whole story for being made the Queen for the entire evening and treated like royalty.  She stated, “It was so wonderful to be part of the Historic event, a moment in my life I’ll never forget.”   Constance Furnare is a member of the Joanne Coccia Lodge #2553. The Board of Directors and members of our lodge are very happy for you.  God has blessed you with excellent health, mind, and spirit.  We wish you many more years of good health.
