Mom,
Happy Birthday!!
I was looking around on Amazon for a gift for you. It occurred to me that you probably need nothing. I got you a little something anyway. It's in the mail.
I think what you probably need is something that everyone needs. To know that you are loved, and thought about beyond measure. And you are. By many, and certainly by me.
You probably need to know that your life has meaning. It does. Your life is rich with meaning, intention, kindness and spirit. The way that you benefit others in your daily life gives your life more meaning than you could ever be aware of. I hope you feel fulfilled because in one man's humble opinion (a biased son) you measure off the charts.
You probably need to know that the two little ones you care about, love, and have raised are safe, sound and happy. We are. We appreciate you very much.
You probably need to know that you are doing the right thing. You are. The way you live your life is amazing.
You probably need to know you are someone's hero. You are. Mine.
I Love You Mom!
Happy 41st! (Hey, we're only as young as we feel)
Love,
Byron

Bonnie you are the sister of my heart - I look back at 44 years of friendship (and how many people can say that!!!) and know that your friendship has enriched my life beyond measure. I have so much personal and professional admiration and respect for all that you do. Happy Birthday my dear and much loved "sister". Robin
Bonnie: Corynne and I wish you a fantastic birthday! We love you and thank you for your warmth and friendship. Have a "Nice Spice" day, and know that our thoughts are with you and Laura.

Hi Bon! Happy Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope to see you soon. All of my love, Robin (E.--i know there is also a 'V' :))
Happy Birthday Aunt Bonnie! It has always been a pleasure to be part of your extended family. Love Keith
Dear Mom,
I don't have the time to write you a proper note at the moment (but one is in the mail!), as I am completely overextended with potential clients at Legal Aid who really need help. But as Byron said, my first present for you (of a few :) is this reminder that your little one is in Boston trying to be just like you.
You are an inspiration to everyone who knows you, an angel to every patient that sees you, and a hero to your adoring children and parents. Congrats on another year well-lived.
I'll talk to you later and I can't wait to see you this weekend!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
Love,
Heather

Hi Bonnie: wow it is hard to believe that you are 41....that makes me only 39 - I love it. So that means that we have actually known each other longer than our ages. That's an accomplishment! Happy Birthday to my sister-in-law. Although our paths may not cross all that much, know that you are loved and appreciated by all. You have touched so many lives with the kindness and love that you share. Enjoy! Renee
Bonnie
You deserve the best day, and actually you deserve many days. You have touched so many lives that I know the world is a better place because of you. You have shared your warmth, kindness and friendship with us. We are so happy you came into our lives many years ago, and look forward to more times with you. Hugs, Gerry & Heather
