Sarah Sullivan’s birthday cake didn’t have 106 candles, but it was decorated with a big “106,” a glowing tribute to Ms. Sullivan at the party honoring her in a Costa Mesa senior living center.

“That looks like my grandson over there,” Sullivan said joyfully as she was wheeled in, pointing to a news photographer and holding onto a birthday card she had received.
