A 97-year-old great-great grandmother was able to serve as the matron of honor at a marriage license ceremony for her great-granddaughter on Christmas Eve.
Juanita Courtney had a special wish come true when she was able to serve as the matron of honor at a marriage license ceremony for her great-granddaughter.
"She got a little choked up and said, 'I thought I would never get to go to one of my family member’s weddings again,'" Stewart told TODAY. The idea was the perfect fit with The Pointe's"Living the Dream" program in which the staff selects one resident every quarter to fulfill a bucket-list item or special wish.
Courtney was too sad about Paul's loss to continue hosting Christmas Eve at her home after 2005, so she often visited family members separately during the holidays. "To get her to be part of something that’s such a milestone in my life, it was an honor to have her there," Stewart said.
