Post a birthday message on this website!

New, improved instructions:

Leave a congratulatory message for the birthday boy and girl. Look below and find Posted by cathsap, then click on the word comments (to the right). Don't click on the little envelope. You do not have to "sign up" for anything to leave a message. Another way to leave a message is to send it through e-mail.

• Include your name (first name only if you prefer)
• Your relationship to Bob and/or Dodie (niece, co-worker, etc.)
• The message moderator reserves the right to edit for considerations of space and identity privacy (we will omit personal info like addresses, phone numbers, etc.)

BEFORE you close out of your message, be sure to type in the verification letters and/or numbers you see on the screen -- this helps weed out automated junk messages. ALSO: you will be asked to "Choose an identity." Simply check "Anonymous." As long as you identify yourself in your message, we will know who you are!

If you posted a message that has not yet appeared, it could be that you did not type in the verifying letters/numbers. Please re-send following the above instructions, or e-mail your message directly to the moderator.

Messages will be added on a "delay" basis -- check back the next day to see yours!

Grandma and Uncle Bob,

Happy Birthday! I wish I could make it to the party but I know it will be a blast!

Love,

Ben

Happy 80th Birthday, Twins!

Mom, no one could ever ask for a better mother. I know now how hard it must have been for you to raise 3 children all on your own, and I just feel so lucky. I remember my friends used to say, “I wish your mom was my mom.” I think that says it all! I don’t remember ever being mad at you or the other way around (well, except for that one time on the way to church when Barbara and I were fighting in the back seat and you turned around and pinched me -- hard!) You gave me a great childhood and have been the best grandmother to Jasmine and Ben. Not many grandmothers would spend hours and hours sitting on the floor playing Barbies with their granddaughters and crawling through playhouses and going down the slides! Thank you for always being there for me.

Love,
Carol

Uncle Bob,

How could Mom have done it without you? She always had her brother to rely on, especially when things broke down (like our car!) Thank goodness you were there for us. I also have great memories of going to your house(s) to go swimming. It would have been better if I hadn’t had to deal with that scary Harold dog, but you can’t have everything (ha-ha! See, I am still terrorized from him!) Congratulations on 80 great years and many more to come!

Love,
Your niece, Carol
