Re: Here's the latest on TriciaK

I am relatively new to this sight, but I just wanted to let you know that I loved your post. Your great attitude shines through, and with all the wonderful posts replying to your initial post, I know you are a great source of inspiration to many. I sincerely hope you get to feeling better soon, and I look forward to seeing many more posts from you in the next 22 years.
God bless,
Hayley

Re: Here's the latest on TriciaK
Tricia,
Thanks for the inspirational 'talk'. It made me think of the statement made by one of our members: "I want to live to be an outrageous old woman..." Gee, I would never have guessed your age. My Mother just turned 86 and is a 13-year Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma survivor. She's been enjoying her life to the fullest. I will tell her about you.
An early 'Happy Birthday' to you. [By the way, hubby's great grandparents came from Sweden also.]

Re: Here's the latest on TriciaK
Hi Tricia,
Wishing you a very happy 80th birthday. You really are an inspiration. Dancing 4 nights a week and writing books in your spare time. What a lady. Keep up that cute Swedish attitude.
Hugs, Catherine

Re: Here's the latest on TriciaK
And God Bless you sweet Tricia. God has a purpose for us all and your purpose is obvious to me. You have the kind of heart and soul that encourages and loves in a special way. We need more people like you.
Sending love and peace ......
