We are celebrating the 106th birthday of Ms. Crossie Kennybrew. She's been with us at Royal Care Skilled Nursing Center in Long Beach since 2005. Ms. Kennybrew is a wonderful lady who enjoys reading the newspaper (Press-Telegram) and enjoys reading spiritual magazines.

   Ms. Kennybrew was born on July 3, 1903, in Oklahoma. She moved to California in 1947 and it has been her home ever since.

   Each year, since she came to us, we make it a point to celebrate her birthday along with the residents of our facility and our staff. The staff and the residents love her dearly and every year we all ask her, ``What is your secret?'' She simply responds with a smile.
