Hello Dear Friends. Welcome.

Today is a special blog to celebrate my sister Diane’s 60th Birthday.

Diane is known as Lavender Lady in the newsletter as she has a gift of poetry so you will know her from there.

Having a Sister is such a wonderful blessing. I can’t imagine my life without her. I do love her with all my heart. She is always in my thoughts and prayers. I am very blessed to have her in my life.

Here’s a picture of us when we were younger. (I wish I still had that car now.)

I thought it would be a wonderful gift to her to allow all her family and friends to write something that they want to say to her for her birthday. I thought it to be a cool idea. So here we go. Some have forwarded pictures.

If you are reading this and want to add birthday wishes and didn’t get a chance to send anything please either send to me and I will add to it or write a comment. I know it will make her heart sing.

These are in no particular order.

Pat has been Diane’s friend since forever and is a wonderful Artist. You can visit her blog here.  This is what she wrote:

“To Diane,
Thank you Angels, for sending me such a perfect forever friend.  I love you Di.”  Pat B.

Here is a couple of pictures she sent. The first is of Pat and Diane.

The next picture Pat sent was very cool because it had the three of us in it and our fake dog.

Here are some wishes from Lesley’s Family. Lesley is just so cute and her children and husband are wonderful. Cailyn is right to the point of what birthday’s are about, too cute.

“Happy 60th Birthday Diane!!

We are truly thankful to be a part of your life. Your free-spirited, fun-loving and unconditional love is just….awesome!!!!! There is no one else like you Diane and we wish to send ALL of our love to you :)”
xoxo Lesley and Kevin

Words from Taylor:

“Happy 60th Birthday….we’ve had fun all of the times we’ve been to your house. Hope you have a great birthday”….Love Taylor

Words from Cailyn:

“Hope you get lots of presents”….Love Cailyn

Next is from Diane’s sweet friend Glenys. Some people are just so wonderful. Glenys is always helping everyone. She never stops. It’s hard not to smile when Glenys is in the room, she is like sunshine. This is what she wrote.

“Birthday wishes to my friend Diane.
If the wind is still, Diane will create a breeze in your life and make you alert.
If the sun isn’t shining she will make you smile.
If you are feeling lonely, she invites you in.
If you want a giggle, she puts on a show.
If you need a friend, she is always there.” Glenys

Thank you dear Glenys and if you find that photo send it along and I will put here.

My Brother David said the following: “Happy Birthday Diane. Love you” David

Cheryl is my friend and added her own little birthday wishes for my sister.

“Happy 60th to your sister Diane.” Cheryl

The following is from my Bro Alan and my wonderful Sister-in-Law Darlene. Love you Both.

“My sister, Diane. Loving, caring and giving, extremely organized,
loves to travel, life of the party and always ready and willing to
jump into any situation.
Happy 60th birthday,
Love you.”
Big Brother & Sister-in-law”

They sent this picture of Diane and her husband when Alan helped them  put up a mural on the wall downstairs. How hilarious is that?

This is from Penny Diane’s lovely neighbour and friend.<

“Have a good one Diane.  Remember 60’s not so bad – you could be turning 61!  Remember to say Hi to Elvis from his #1 Fan up in Rock & Roll Heaven – Tony.” Penny

This is from Diane’s dear Friend Hilda:

“Birthdays should be a special time as everyone should know.
It means living another year of living another year to grow.
Birthdays should be a special time for each to then reflect,
On the past and on the present and what the future might expect.
Birthdays should be a special time to start anew,
Setting goals and working to make each and every dream come true.
Happy 60th Birthday Diane. Hilda

You all know my wonderful neice Becki (dog groomer extraordinaire) from my newsletter.

“Most people are afraid to express themselves the way my Aunt Diane does. Her sense of humour could be described as “quirky” but she always makes people laugh. Her style may not be conventional, but it belongs to her and reflects who she is. Diane is not afraid to laugh out loud or shed a tear of joy or sadness. Her personality itself is truly comforting and I’m sure I’m not the only one who enjoys her loving energy. Happy Birthday to the woman who always makes sure she says “I love you”. We love you too.Becki, Brian and Tyler”

Becki sent in this picture from her wedding walking with my Brother David (her Dad) with Diane in the background.

 

 

 

 

My cousin Cindy remembers the funniest things about growing up. I remember none of it but the things she comes out with are just so cute. Here’s what she wrote when I asked for something:

“I can’t believe she’s turning 60, boy do I feel old now, and I can’t believe how much you two look alike, makes me think of the old days when we played together at your house, I can remember I would stay over and your mom would make us eggs in the morning and I would eat the yolks and you would eat the white part, that was on Rogers Rd I think. Say hi to her for me and wish her a great big Happy Birthday for me ok. ”

Then she sent this from her Mom and her.

Hi Sharon I was speaking to mom the other night and her message to Diane is Happy 60th from your favorite Aunt Doris & Uncle Sam, we appreciate all your calls over the years and we always enjoy your visits they mean so much to us, we love you. Have a great birthday. And my message to her is I’m catching up to you, so please slow down I don’t want to be 60 yet….LOL Have a great day and hope we can get together this summer and have a blast. Your cousin Cindy Happy 39th Birthday Diane. Thanks Sharon this is such a great idea, you take care.  Cindy

This is from our cousin Shelley:

“Sorry for the belated birthday wishes for Diane but please tell her I think of her often always with a smile on my face. She was such an influence in my life and I recall times on Rogers Rd. a lot. Like the time we all had our wet hair wrapped in towels and Diane put on the music. We were all dancing with our turbins till they fell off and we ended up wrapping around our hips and doing the twist. We had a lot of fun together. happy birthday Diane. Also I want to say how much my mother loves and appreciates her.”

Mary wrote the following:

“Happy Birthday Diane. It’s such a pleasure knowing you for so many years and hopefully for many more years to come. You always have such a beautiful smile.” Mary

“Happy Birthday Diane.” Mr. & Mrs. Mariano

Vince sends his birthday wishes. “Happy 60th Diane”.

“Happy Birthday Diane. Lots of Love from Peter in Cuba.”

“All of our love and best wishes to our favourite Diane – we love you!”  Ed jo & Paula

“Happy 60th Diane. Love you.” Michael

“Happy 60th Birthday Diane.” Love Bobby

My Friend Dave added the following:

 “It is a very special moment when someone turns 60, and I certainly hope that this special moment is very special for you!” Dave

“Happy 60th Diane!!! I hope it was everything you hoped it would be and more… you deserve it! Thanks for being such a great friend! Georgia and I are very lucky to have you! Happy Birthday!!!!!” xoxoxoxo
