Today I rise to honor Geraldine Amstutz of Rochester, Minnesota, who will celebrate her 100th birthday on March 15. Geraldine was born on March 15, 1921, in Grabill, Indiana, a small town founded and named after her grandfather. After graduating high school at the top of her class, Geraldine went on to study music in college. In 1943, Geraldine married Tillman Amstutz, with whom she would spend the next 63 years raising four children and eventually settling in Rochester. Geraldine has always loved music, especially playing the piano, but her greatest passions involve people and art. For decades she has made personalized, homemade cards, sending thousands over the years to encourage, lift up, honor, and celebrate others. Approaching her centennial birthday, Geraldine continues making cards to bless others with her kindness and compassion. Here is to 100 terrific years, Geraldine. ____________________
