Condolences to the family of Julia Hawkins,
Your dear one, 108 years young, is described by many as a centenarian but what contributed to her longevity? Possibly the contributing factors were her diet, emotional stability, environment, exercise, a good family and friends, medical care, mental exercise, optimism, sports, walking, herbs, vitamins, and other serums with rejuvenating properties. That may be why the longevity of some make the news, as happened in the case of your loved one Ms. Julia Hawkins.
Is there a secret to long life? Some holy books speak of a much longer life span in the future. We all will definitely look forward to that time being a reality.
Until then our prayers of comfort to the Hearer of Prayers are with the families of those who have lost loved ones like the amazing Ms. Julia Hawkins.
