“MODA’s residents all came together to celebrate with Linda and they thoroughly enjoyed the eats.”

Even though Linda’s daughter, Aletta Cromberge, lives in America, she arranged with nursing sister Helen Gayley, the former manager of Moda, to buy platters and cold drinks for Linda’s special day.
Helen also bought her a 90th birthday helium balloon and a happy birthday banner to make her birthday even more special.
Linda’s long-time friends, Hennie and Trible Jordaan visited her on her birthday and brought her an orange cake.
They also arranged a video call between Linda and her daughter.
“Moda’s residents came together to celebrate with Linda and they thoroughly enjoyed the eats,” says Moda manager Esme van der Walt.
“I enjoyed my birthday celebration,” said Linda.
Linda was married for 46 years before her husband died. She never remarried.
Linda’s daughter has lived in America for 50 years and Linda visited seven times during this period.
While she has twin grandsons, who were born in America in November 2020, Linda has not met them yet.
“I am very proud to be a grandmother,” she said.
