13th March 2024 (20:02): It is not every day you get to celebrate your 100th birthday. I was honoured to be invited to join Leone Rocke as she celebrated her 100th birthday at the Seventh Day Adventist Aged Care facility in Wahroonga. Leone has led a remarkable life. Being born overseas, emigrating to Australia, she has generously served the community as a San nurse and been an active member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. At her 100th birthday party, Leone was surrounded by her many friends from all different stages of her life, including many people from her neighbourhood. I enjoyed hearing the many stories and memories they shared of their time spent with Leone. They describe Leone as kind, loving and caring. I congratulate Leone on achieving this incredible milestone. I thank her for inviting me to be part of her special day. I could see from the way in which her friends came together on her birthday that she is very loved and cherished by those around her. May she continue to enjoy her time in Wahroonga.
