Dear Margaret, Have a very happy 75th birthday as I am sure you will with family and friends. It has been great reading all the messages to you and now feel as if we know you quite well and we know you enjoy life. You have a move ahead of you again but this keeps life exciting and one doesn't get in a rut. I am guilty of not having answered your letter but I am not a great one for the computer but I am improving so no excuses and will get a letter away to you. Stuart will be home 12th April for six weeks then another 3 month stint in Brasil while I keep the home fires burning, after that I am not sure take it as it comes. I am sorry we didn't get too meet you while you were over this side of the world but maybe another time.
Do have a happy day Love to you Mike family and friends
Jill

Happy birthday, Momma Bunny
Happy Birthday, dear friend. I didn't want to miss out on wishing you a wonderful (if belated) birthday. You have been such a huge inspiration to me. If I'm down, you make me laugh. You've been the best part of the Fambly and I am happy to call you Momma B. Your smile is always present in anything you write.
I am addicted to Pavorati now, thanks to you and your cd on Essential Opera. Your cliff notes are a hoot. Ypu made every opera into a soap opera and I understand now that they are the same thing, only one with music. Through that CD, I also discovered that Walt Disney was an opera fan, as many of his cartoons from my youth were set to the same music. You have broadened my universe and I live through your adventures. The cards with the attached cartoon clippings are wonderful.
Keep on living life to the fullest. You inspire us all to be like you. Sue, this is a wonderful thing that you did for your mother. such a triubte. And Mike, you have the most wonderful woman, and reading your first post, the feeling is mutual for you. Love you, Momma B. Doing it for us, Jan from New Mexico.

Dear Mom,
Have a great birthday, we are all excited that you are moving here. It will be so much nicer to see you often. I never dreamed I would have the greatest mother-in-law on the planet. Since I got here you have been very supportive and always found the best words to motivate me. Forever I will be indebted with you for always giving, and never expecting anything in return. Your kindness and generosity are always appreciated by me and our family. Today and forever I wish you all the best.
Happy Birthday and have a great day,
Love, Ildeu
Mim,

A Limerick You Can Lick Your Birthday Chops To
Margaret’s seventy-five
And has never felt more alive
Sue, Kay, Steve and Mike
Know there’s no one quite like
This babe who continues to thrive.
Happy Birthday and many more!
