Talk of The Villages Florida - Happy Birthday, Donna.

I want to share my b'day message to Donna from 3/20/09:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A GREAT FRIEND!!!

To a dear friend who's friendship I will treasure forever and I only have TOTV to thank for meeting you. We had 3000 miles between us but yet, fate had us destined to become the best of pals. Let's have a little walk back in time:

Remember the first time we met at Dunkin' Donuts along with 5 other "peeps" from TOTV to meet for coffee and donuts, I recognized you immediately by the long blonde pony tail and the great laugh. We clicked immediately, and I knew we were destined to become good friends.

I would love nothing more than to celebrate your birthday with you in person but unfortunately, another year goes by, that we cannot do that. But in my heart I know that there will come a day when we will be together day in and day out. We'll be driving in your golf cart, as two old bags, getting lost throughout Hadley, even though we've lived there for 10 years. You will be the gorgeous blonde with the long pony tail, and I will be your GPS getting you more lost than you already are. We will stop to ask nice old gentlemen for directions, and you will astound them with your good looks and adorable personality until they tell us to just follow them, and they will show us the way.... and as we do, you will light up another cig and grab for the coffee mug in the cart and we'll laugh all the way until we are lost again. It will take us an hour for a 10 min trip but it will be the best time of our lives.

DD (as Handieman calls you), you are the best, I wish you the best and I am so glad you are in my life. Have a marvelous birthday and have John give you a kiss for me and some day we will celebrate our birthday's together as one.
Your pal, KathieI

Love you Donna,,, your frieiend, Kath
