wow! Bless her!

I think it's all in the genes, in the DNA....

Not so much on what she ate or not..... or if she smoked or not .....exercise or not exercise.... etc!

114 is really old and really cool to attain. My own great-grandmother died in 1964. She was 103 years old, 14 days from her 104th birth day, and received a letter of congratulations from President John F. Kennedy. Advances in medicine will play a big part in extended longevity, but like Skye said, it is in the genes and strands of DNA.
