The followers not only offered compliments but also blessings and good wishes for the grandmother. “Blessings for your grandmother and for you”; “Move forward and don’t stop, don’t be like Ruperto”; "It's never too late when happiness is good, and when there is a desire to learn, age doesn't matter, it's just the will and effort, blessings to you, ma'am"; "She is entrepreneurial, she has the courage to do it, if she perseveres she will achieve it with your help, God bless her."
