Comment from BethShelby
You always tell me something I didn't know about some of favorite people. I love Verna's poems. They are always perfect and with wonderful messages. I didn't know her father was a minister. She walks the straight and narrow, not like the sterotypical preacher's kid, whos always in trouble. Your poem is lovely and I like all the music you share.

Hi there Beth, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the kind words for our lovely Verna, and for her poem. She will enjoy reading all the birthday wishes too. Bless you for honoring us both with your six stars!
Thanks again, my dear friend.

Another wonderful birthday poem. You are the best at what you do. I'm sure Verna appreciates it. She is such kind person. Her faith is very important to her.

Ann, your kind words mean the world to me. Thank you so very much. And then to top it off with a six star rating is such an honor. I appreciate it so very much.
I am looking forward to doing yours. It has been a busy month so far. One very day and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. Since you are so special, and somehow I was fortunate to find out positive things of interest about you, I may do my favorite Merry~go~Rhyme for yours. I just did one on November 2nd for pome lover, and she loved it. Thanks again, Ann.

Hi Laura, I will tell you that if you have an iPad, then they do not make it easy to embed a code (a YouTube video code) Apple doesn't recognize it, so I have to use a computer to do it. However, I have two iPads that I love, but still have a computer that I used to embed the code. So I would help you if you let me know which system you are working with. Just let me know, ok?
Thanks for the lovely comments for this poem and for Verna. She will love reading your sweet message too.

Thanks a bunch, God bless you.

You chose five the world best hymns to share with this lovely birthday tribute. I do not know Verna, but I can tell she is a person that I need to get to know. Thank you for sharing her with us.

Barb, you always make me feel so good about these poems, and the fact that you take the time to say a personal happy birthday warms my heart. Thank you for that. It is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. Most poems and posts will come and go and never be remembered, but I know these will forever be in someone's heart. That means a lot to me. You will absolutely love Verna, since we all have the same faith instilled in us.

I feel like I just attended service. Do I still have to go? :)).
From the way you consistently hit them out of the park, I think the Diamond Backs baseball team could have used your help in the World Series> Yep, one home run after another. You are on fire, and there is no water that can put you out.

You do make me blush, Nomi. And yet I never feel worthy of the kind things you say like that, so you don't have to worry about it going to my head. I am actually more humbled by the kind of love you put into your reviewing these for me. What would I do without the Best Big Brother in the world?
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 😘
Comment from jim vecchio
Wow! Thanks to you, so many greats are getting the recognition they deserve! And great music, honoring The Lord, as well! You must lie awake at night, putting words together in your head, to achieve such melody in your words!

'Hi Santha, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the kind words for our lovely Verna, my dear friend. I sure have missed you lately.
Comment from Paul Manton
Thanks again Debi for a wonderful tribute to a great lady. She really is Fan Story Royalty, and yet one of the genuinely most humble people on site. She has achieved so much, but treats us all with such respect and care.
This is one of the people who has most impressed me here. Your poem is as usual a lovely tetrameter abab framework, with a very accomplished seven line monorhyme, wishing Verna a great birthday. You mention her writing achievements, including her new compilation, which should interest many of us.
Looks like your compendium of singers all sing the same solos as me! I know I sang four of them this year in church. Lovely choice - and I am not surprised if these are Verna's favorites too.
She loves God AND chocolate! A woman after my own heart.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VERNA!
Love from Paul

Debi, you are a treasure. I hope you got all the music.
Love from Paul
-
Paul, I never received any music. Was I supposed to get it via: email? I just went back and double checked there was nothing there.
-
Yes, sent by email yesterday.
I will try again.
-
If you send me an email first, it is more likely to be accurate.
-
Ok, I will go check. I do see it says two new ones so I will open up my email account and look. Thanks so much Sweetie!! I will be back.
-
Nope, wasn't you. I think I copied your email as soon as I received it. Does it end with me.com? I am going to send you my birth to my Merry~go~Rhymes and see if you get it.
-
My email is 'paulikann@me.com'
Look fwd to Merry-go-Rhymes.
Paul
-
Till then.
-
We have something that is off between us, Paul. I sent the link to the Merry go rhymes three hours ago. Are you sure this is your right address or that maybe there isn't a character wrong in it?
paulikann@me.com Or that you have me right at
Debipm@icloud.com?

I really liked how you wrote this piece, and you describe someone who must be really special. I loved how your writing flowed which engaged me from the start. A thoroughly enjoyable piece.
