Thank you for doing this lovely tribute to Shari, Debi! Yes, it would be great if she could see her daughter's family more. She was amazing as she cared for Frank through all his years of progressive dementia. I loved her biography of him.

Hi Helen, I am hitting at the actual keyboard now so don't even need my eyes. Lol.... I appreciate your sweet words for Shari's poem. Yes, her story I read quite some time ago what was so intriguing to me in the first place, yet my choice of who reviews me regularly is what makes the difference of who I do the poems for. I am sure hoping that after I see what these surgeries do make a difference so I may review more people back now. Right now it is to a few, as you already know. Thanks for your kind comments, my dear friend.

Another lovely happy birthday merry-go-round poem, Debi. You get such a beautiful flow in these writes and we learn more about the poets behind their writes, this time for Spitfire. Nicely done, Debi, cheers,

Thanks so much Valda. These poems mean a lot to me because I appreciate my great friends who I have gotten to know so well thru all of the reviews you all have done for me. I am hoping to repay those by slowly start reviewing back as soon as the eyes heal. I am at my one day post-op for my second surgery in the lobby and waiting to see how it went. The fact that I can see somewhat is good. Even tho I am depending on the keypad to do it as my vision isn't too clear yet. Thanks for your kind comments my dear friend.

Hi Debi, your poem is a beautiful tribute to Shari ~ our Spitfire.
It reads and flows well and has good rhyming within. Your message is clear. I'm sure that Shari will love this poem of love.

Of special note:
She loves to sing Karaoke with her mic and amplifier
She often acts ands sing on stage, alone or with a choir

(Florida and Karaoke go hand in hand. It's a fun night out.)

Well done. A pleasure to read. This poem made me smile.
Great photo and YouTubes. Xo. M

Thanks so much Margaret. I truly appreciate your kind review and comments. She is quite the spitfire and she was telling me that she got that name in fourth grade. She is one fun lady. Just like another red head I know. Thanks again dear friend and sis.

Well, you're at it again, Debi. Shari is one of the Fanstorians that I have got to know. I have enjoyed her prose pieces and look forward to many more.

A fine dedication to Shari (glad I know her name because I've come across her posts so often) and birthday greetings! Your verse is, as ever, fun, lighthearted, empathic and informative all couched in a lovely, enjoyable rhyme. Thanks for sharing, Debi. Take care Debbie

This is a sweet birthday poem for Shari/Spitfire. I'm sorry to hear her husband has passed away and she misses him. Glad some of her grandkids are nearby, though. Happy birthday, Shari! Thanks, Debi for sharing about her. Blessings. Carol
