Happy Birthday and Welcome Home

This is just a quick note to wish my Mom a Happy Birthday.  You're a long way off, but not ever out of our thoughts.  We love you and pray you may have many more birthday celebrations.  I wish I could be there.

Birthday wishes also for my nephew Paul.  He just retired after 20 years as a Navy Corpsman.  I hope this year brings you all of what you want and need.

And a "Welcome Home!" to my son-in-law Slade.  He's here for about 8 days, then back to Ft. Drum, NY.  It is great to have you home for Christmas.  You've been missed, and much appreciated for what you are doing.
