WOW Story: A 100th Birthday Surprise!

Every day, we interact with our members in ways big and small. Some of these moments turn into something truly special. That’s exactly what happened when Christa took a routine service call from Mr. Barnes — a call that quickly became a heartwarming celebration.

While verifying some account details, Christa noticed that Mr. Barnes’ mother’s birthday was listed as December 26th. She casually asked, “Did she just celebrate a milestone birthday?” With a chuckle, he replied, “Yes — she just turned 100!”

Recognizing what a special moment this was, Christa didn’t stop at a simple congratulations. She went the extra mile, creating a personalized Happy 100th Birthday card and emailing it to Mr. Barnes to share with his mother. Later, Mr. Barnes called back to say how much it had meant to her. He said, “She was overjoyed — it made her whole day!”
