Awe, Lisa, sorry for being so late on this, but I am pretty slow right now. But I only have a few left and I am done for the day. But you are always so sweet!

And also you are so kind and I thank you so much for the awesome comments for Helen, as well for her poem. I hope she is reading all of these dear messages for her. Thanks again, my friend. Debi

We are friends with Helen Zille, Elaine studied with Johannes, her husband, 10 of us went on a cruise with the five students and partners five years ago. It was wonderful, Helen was sometimes besieged by South African cre members, but Helen, she deserves everything we can say about her, she is terrific, my friend since she joined, beautifully written Debi, blessings Roy

I meant to say that I find it fascinating that Elaine and you knew Helen Zille. I bet then you were surprised to see me post this. That is a pretty cool story about how she knew them and about her and South Africa.

This is a very clever variation upon the theme! I like the combination of personal biography, tribute and recognition of achievements by vrious Helens throughout history and the world. Your friend Helen is such a kind and generous reviewer - I have benefited from this as so many others have also. Thanks for the share.

Helen is a very special lady. Her faith is so strong, and just as you bless us with birthday poems, she also blesses us with prayer requests, interviews, her own special brand of "Birthdays of the month"--and she had never uttered an unkind word about anyone!

Your poem is lovely in its own right, Debi. Spot on rhymes and 8 syllable lines throughout that read beautifully out loud!

Congratulations to both of you!

Wow! You packed so much into this poem and you gave me so many songs on top of it all. Thank you, Debi, and you know we are all so blessed by you and all you do to celebrate the people here. Love you!

You are very welcome Helen. Yours deserved something a little more grand, so to show how important you are to us was needed. There is something changed in poem and one new video to check out. Thanks for being you!

Yes, I saw the video with the kitties. Since you asked me to read the reviews, I learned that Terry put you up to it! 😊😻💖
