What a great tribute to a wonderful poet, woman, and friend, Debi.

She is a true testament to what this site offers and I'm glad to be part of it.

Great post and a happy belated birthday to you.

Cheers,
John

Hello Mary,
it was nice that you remembered Debbi's birthday. I can hardly keep track of my own, so it always amazes me that others can recall so many. Happy belated birthday to you too gal. I hope it was a delight and there are many more happy ones to come.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Good on you, Mary.

Bad Poetry is outrageous.

Made me think I must outrage you often. My poetry is a work in progress. Ha!

Aw, this is a delightfully sweet tribute to our loving Debi Pick Marquette. She's been overwhelmed today with FanStory's goodness. She deserves it through. She a doll and just the sweetest person.

Debi dear, precious friend o' mine, can't say Happy Birthday too many times today! I love you so much and pray you're super blessed with every good gift imaginable. BBB!

Love & Blessings to you both.

You are so awesomely funny, Mary. I cannot thank you enough for this incredibly sweet and wonderful poem. You may not know it, but you are like a little rhyming comic and could write great poetry. This is amazingly witty and charming and I love that you ended it with the cow joke. What you maybe didn't believe was that I was so touched by that cow joke poetry line that I saved that into my folder of treasures from sweet people like you, just as this poem will go there.

So thank you from the bottom of my heart so this wonderful and fun poem for my birthday. I am overwhelmed with all the tremendously awesome friends like you, and I hope you had as great of a birthday as I am having today.

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. Maybe I will try again.
Your kitty singing got a second audience. Not knowing how to send something like that to my brother on his birthday on the 20th. I held the phone up to the singing kitties to sing a Happy Birthday. He has had a rough year after losing his wife suddenly. He appreciated it!

Oooh, that is wonderful that your brother at least got to hear the kitties. Thanks again Mary for the wonderful poem. I am still laughing about the cow that was in both posts. You helped make this the best birthday I have ever had. Thank you again, my awesome friend.

LOL, Mary, I love it! I sent her a birthday wish from YouTube with Yoda singing Happy Birthday. I think it is very cool that you and others have taken pen in, or maybe fingers on keyboards, to honor her. Thank you for doing so. Terry.
