Another year in a province-wide COVID-19 pandemic meant another year that friends and family couldn’t help Reta LeGear celebrate her birthday this April.

Last year, family and friends threw LeGear a surprise parade to celebrate her special day, but with another birthday coming up and the province still having restrictions on family get-togethers, daughter Nancy Ambler decided to try something different this year.

She says, “I asked friends and family to send a birthday card hoping to get enough to total her age.

“The response was overwhelming! She received 84 cards, which she wants everyone to know is not her age!”

Ambler adds, “She had so much fun getting her mail and was happy to hear from people she has not seen in a long time.”
