I met my extra special mother when I was 11 years old. She came into my life after the death of my mother. As you can imagine this was a very difficult time in the life of a young girl. From the very beginning, she has always been so kind and loving to me. I don't remember her ever treating me harshly or strictly. Lots of love and care for my 2 brothers. 3 sisters and myself. We were a lot for her to take on, but she did it with so much grace, hard work, and self-sacrifice. She was only 29 when she adopted a family of 6 children and we were all grieving, not a happy-go-lucky bunch. She brought joy and fun back into our lives. My father often said that both of his wives were amazing. He was lucky with the first one but knew what to look for in the second one. One of her biggest contributions to our family was our 4 half-sisters. The joy just continued. I look back now and can't remember her ever acting like we were all too much. But how could we not have been??? Mom, there is no way for you to completely know what a blessing in my life you have been. I love you dearly. Kamala loves you dearly. Everyone who knows you loves you dearly. XOXOXOXOXOXOXO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Katie
Dear Grammie, Happy birthday! I hope it’s a special one and that you’re spoiled all day. I have so many favorite memories with you, it’s hard to narrow it down. Whenever I think of the happy moments from my childhood, most of them are centered around being at the farm and spending time with you and the cousins.
I loved having sleepovers there and watching movies with you in your bed and then waking up and having cinnamon rolls and orange juice. I also loved the mini sodas out in the garage and the mint chocolate chip ice cream you always had. Whenever I was there, I never wanted to leave! You created such a happy place that everyone loved being at.
I tell Will about all my favorite memories with you and what you’re like and he feels like he knows you! You’ve been so sweet to him the times that you’ve talked and whenever I come to visit you ask so many questions about him and his family and we both appreciate how much you care!
I love you and can’t wait to see you in an couple weeks when I’m in KC!
💜, Addy
Dear Sally,
I remember the first time I met you and Dr. John. Mary Anne and I had been out and I drove her to the farm. I was a bit nervous, but you two were so gracious and put me at ease.
For the first three months of marriage to MA, we house sat for you while you and Dr. John were in Vero Beach. You had five Goldens at the time; there were Abby, Bailey, Cody, DJ and Eddy. They were a lot of fun. We started calling Bailey, 'Billy'. They were a friendly bunch. The farm was a great place. We could go for long walks and watch the stars at night. I specifically remember the big satellite TV receiver dish, the long gravel drive and the train tracks down the road. I also remember the corn field.
Addy loved the farm too. Getting candy from Papa and driving in the cart with her cousins made great memories for her.
Also, I wanted to thank you for attending my dad's funeral. That meant a lot.
Have a happy 87th birthday and may there be many more….
Love, Robert

Jean Hodes wanted to share this hilarious home video of her darling sweet Louie her Bernese mountain dog to add to your surprise 87th tribute she knows how much you love dogs & your Golden retrievers Lex & BAX & that you love to laugh too!
Dear Mrs. Flatley,
Happy 87th birthday to you!! I hope you’re still doing sit-ups and push ups in the hallway like I remember you and Dr. Flatley doing on Huntington Road.
I have nothing but fun memories of you two! I believe I spent a huge portion of my grade school at your house, jumping on the tramp, playing with the little people in the big room on the pool table, eating hamburgers, French fries and a coke (was that on Fridays?),
And of course playing school down in your totally decked out school in your basement or visiting puppies!! Oh I can’t forget the swimming pool!!
You were the mom that never said no and I reaped the benefits! I hope this coming year brings many blessings! Have a great day!
❤️ love, Amy McLiney Perry
So sweet of you Mary Anne, to think of this precious gift to give your Mom. Things like this are priceless.
Although I never met your Mom but always heard very good things about this strong giving woman. Hope it is the best day ever for her !

Two video messages from Mike Long:
Mom I am dedicating this sweet catchy tune by Brit Nicole to you too “Through Your Eyes”!! It also describes our special i breaks or Mother daughter faith & unconditional TLC & biond thst no demons were able to steal from us or destroy come what may…but not from lack of them😈😈☠️TRY’IN “, AMEN MOM?!!?!?!
These lyrics describe how I see you through my eyes & am BEYOND GRATEFUL for you & your fervent prayers never ever GIVIN’ UP on me Gen the way too MANY times I gave up on myself!! “So this is living This is free Not keeping score Not anymore Not since you rescued me
You lifted my head up I was keeping my head down I didn't know love But I do now
'Cause you stood right there And then you broke apart the lies You told me I had something beautiful inside You brought to life the part of me I thought had died 'Cause you stood right there until I saw me I saw me through your eyes (saw me) I saw me through your eyes (saw me)” ~~~~~~~~💜~~~~~~~~~~~<💜~~~~~~~~> “Through Your Eyes” Get it together That's what I say to me I put on the pressure You could do better Be who you're supposed to be
But that's when you came in Right when I needed you Said all of the things that I was believing Not one of them were true
You lifted my head up I was keeping my head down I didn't know love But I do now
'Cause you stood right there And then you broke apart the lies You told me I had something beautiful inside You brought to life the part of me I thought had died 'Cause you stood right there until I saw me I saw me through your eyes (saw me) I saw me through your eyes (saw me) I saw me through your eyes
So this is living This is free Not keeping score Not anymore Not since you rescued me
You lifted my head up I was keeping my head down I didn't know love But I do now
'Cause you stood right there And then you broke apart the lies You told me I had something beautiful inside You brought to life the part of me I thought had died 'Cause you stood right there until I saw me I saw me through your eyes (saw me) I saw me through your eyes (saw me)
You love me even when I fall apart I can't explain it That's just who you are Don't want perfection You just want my heart
'Cause you stood right there And then you broke apart the lies You told me I had something beautiful inside You brought to life the part of me I thought had died 'Cause you stood right there until I saw me I saw me through your eyes I saw me through your eyes I saw me through your eyes I saw me through your eyes
