Mum had a very successful 19th Birthday Party yesterday. There were over 100 guests, and people brought all sorts of cards and flowers. Mum gave an illustrated talk about her life, which we followed with a toast and champagne. There was all sorts of delicious food prepared by the University Club, and there was a string quartet that played as well. You can see a huge selection of pictures here.
Mum and I visit South Africa in 2007 and 2012 to learn about the life and times of my great grandfather, Vincent Lawrence (1872-1965). Lawrence worked with Gandhi when the Mahatma was in South Africa, got involved in the struggle against apartheid, and helped found St. Anthony's Church in Durban.

Great to know about the success of this birthday party. Would love to throw my mom a surprise birthday party at one of LA venue. Will be inviting all her friends for the day. She will be very happy to this surprise.
