There are no adequate words to describe my love for you. You were an example of kindness, compassion and integrity. Thank you for showing me such a generous spirit. You taught me to pray, you led me, and guided me. You taught me to love God’s creation. You made my childhood so fun-filled with pigs, horses, bunnies, cows, and chickens. You laughed during the tough times and with seven kids to feed and clothe, there were many. Often people compliment me for my kindness but it isn’t me they see, it is your compassionate spirit they see in me. Just thinking about you helps me be a kinder and more loving person. I look forward to seeing you again some day. Happy 90th Birthday!
Love, Leener
