Birthday Girl!!

I am not a great one for remembering people's birthdays. But since Carol's birthdate is "code" for proving my relationship to her at Hopkins, I will never forget it!!!

So . . . on this date I just want Carol to know that we are all sending her oodles of love, prayers and wishes for a happy day today!! We love you girlfriend!!

And to the many, many friends of Carol's who have donated to the Johns Hopkins Pancreatic Cancer Research fund in honor of her birthday I want to say THANK YOU!!!

  6. Happy Birthday, my friend! I'm a huge proponent of celebrating to the max -- so I figure the celebrating should be stretched out for at LEAST the birthday month. In that vien, check your doorstep tomorrow sometime....
    Sending love and a huge birthday hug,
    Kristy

  8. Sorry about the above deletion - just wanted to add something else!.....It a is great joy to wish you a precious and pain-free birthday Carol! There's cause for celebration on so many fronts on this day. We folks here in CA would love to shower our west coast birthday love on you tangibly and in person, but we will entrust that to some of our eastern counterparts. :o) (Don't you just love those stealth doorstep visits?) Although separated by miles, we are devoted to prayer and thanksgiving for you, Carol. "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." And we are rejoicing! Another year - another opportunity to celebrate all that God's done, is doing, and will do in your life, dear sister. Our hope is in Him, Jeff and Jane

  14. Hi Mrs. Marshall! Just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts. I've been traveling around Italy a lot this past month, and have developed the habit of lighting a candle for you in every church I visit. I'm hoping every little bit helps for a quick recovery, right? I look forward to seeing you at the wedding in a few weeks. and Happy (belated) Birthday! Beth

  19. Dear Carol,
    YOu do not know me but I am a friend of Sally's. She has talked to me about you so much, I feel like I do know you. In just reading all your blogs, I now feel while we've never met, I can see what a wonderful person you are! Your strength overwhelms me. While I no longer live in the MD/DC area, I look forward to visiting Sally someday soon and meeting you!
    In the meantime, Hang in there thru these tough times. You have a new person , now, on your prayer crew.
    With God's blessings and love,
    Joan Cole
