No Peer Pressure For a 122 Year Old Lady
Jeanne Calment, at 122 years, was the oldest living human whose birth date could be authenticated. When asked to describe her vision for the future, she replied, “Very brief.” When the reporter asked the birthday girl what she liked best about being 102 years old, she answered, “Well, there’s no peer pressure."Finally, John Fetterman in Madison Wisconsin told of an elderly woman who died last April. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, “The men wouldn’t take me out while I was alive, I don’t want them to take me out when I’m dead.” (Dayon Huss - Sermon Central).
