On July 3, we had a very nice surprise party in our side garden for a friend named Mary who celebrated her 96th birthday with us.
Smart, able and still full of all the life God gave her, Mary sent us this letter afterward. I’d like to share it with you now:
Dear Bev and Rick:
What a suprise!
That was one beautiful party. – a lovely day, wonderful people and what a charming setting.
And then – GIFTS!
The massage will keep me moving and that beautiful "Robe" will keep we warm all winter.
You made living 96 years worth it.
Thank you both so much. What a great Pair you are.
Love,
Mary
Well, Mary, from both Bev and I, you are most definitely welcome!
