I have to say...these pictures are just beautiful. And you are one hot momma in that bikini! We have had a long, wonderful friendship these past 45+ years. Growing up, you and your family always treated me as one of your own; something I will never forget. Nor will I forget all the great memories over the years of dances, dancing, parties, double dating, trips, beach experiences, showers, weddings, babies, etc. and most importantly, your support when I needed it. I look forward to many, many more. Thanks for being my good, good friend and, of course, my excellent go-to jitterbug partner! I hope you have the best birthday ever. Happy birthday, Diva North. Love Karen
Marie, What a hot chick you were (and still are) in that teeny weeny purple bikini! And I will always remember our Florida road trip when you crashed my conference & we went in search of the "Shoe Buffet". We go back a long ways & you will always be a part of those wonderfull memories. I hope you have a wonderfull 57th (ouch) birthday!!! Love, Diva Donna
The pics are great and the years have been kind to you! I can't believe that we've been such good friends for 49 years!!! Through grade school, high school, up until today, it is so hard to believe, where the time has gone. Too too many fond memories to mention but a few, like high school dances, me staying over night frequently ,walking over you house from Roselle just to hang out and of course boy troubles!! Vegas for our 50th was a great memory, 39 pairs of shoes between us. I could go on and on but the message is just the same, Happy 57th Birthday to my dear friend!! Enjoy your special day in good health and happiness.
You always have to do what I do. I get a year older and then you have to get a year older. Copy cat. Course you know that is just our running joke that I am older. Welcome to 57. You do look fabulous and it just proves we are not getting older we are improving with age just like fine wine. Or in your case vintage Coke. I have many fond and cherished memories of your friendship over the years, namely your hunt for that fellow whose name rhymes with Huffy. To the pit (wait not there) to St. Liz's (wait not there) back to the pit (where is he) Sometimes I think it was a quick ride through just to see if his car was there. I also rememebr my beloved orange hat and matching purse your Dad made for me. We were cool!! And you still are. Happy Birthday Marie. I hope you enjoy your day and go out and buy shoes.
But you got to have friends. The feeling's oh so strong. You got to have friends to make that day last long.
Cause you gotta have friends, that's right, I gotta me, I gotta me my, I gotta me my Look around and see all of my friends. Oh friends, thats right, you gotta have friends.
I'll Stand By You
I'll stand by you, won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you Take me into your darkest hour and I'll never desert you, I'll stand by you.
Happy Birthday, Marie!
