memories of laughter, sorrow and Lenny the Lobster

Dear Mary,
We have shared many experiences over the past 25+ years. The “ding bat trio” era brings back memories of fun and laughter. Thanks for teaching me to quilt. It has become an important part of my life. All the fun times at choir practice. And of course don’t forget the parties. Finding the perfect birthday present, especially “Lenny the Lobster” who has become our traveling mascot.
Most of all, thank you for the love and support during Larry’s illness. That was a painful journey and you helped carry our burden. We have shared many joys and sorrows over the years as we traveled life’s journey. May your birthday be a great celebration of a life well lived. Seventy years of generous love and concern for others is an inspiration for all of us. God bless.

Love, Shirley

P.S. I love your red coat.
