emily6Emily Hirsch of Scarsdale's Candy 'n Cards celebrated her 99th birthday on June 16. The day began with a birthday party at Lange's of Scarsdale with a birthday cake and personalized balloons. Her son, grandchildren and even a 16 month-old great grandchild were there – along with other well-wishers. Later on, Hirsch was interviewed at her store by News12.

  • Get up everyday and go about your business
