HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHERIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Another year gone by and I am not there! 

(Well there once again in heart and Spirit.)

I'm getting pretty good at re-posting last years Birthday Celebrations but

once again I think it covers our Cherie pretty good....

Only maybe now, she is even more loving, giving, younger looking and

if possible that smile has gotten even prettier!

And of course, she is even more fun.

I'm so proud to call her my Best Friend!


To Dance in the rain with her...

Follow the link below..

I still feel you'll be glad you did!


And now the feelings from last year that are carried over!

Yes, today is Cherie's Birthday.... After spending last year with her on her Birthday, I had decided that I was going to make sure that I was there for every Birthday after that...

 (Best laid plans...)  But I am there in heart and spirit!!!!

PhotobucketPhotobucket

Seems as though we have our own little community going here on Multiply and the beauty of it is that miles don't matter (well, until you want to get a real hug from your friend again.)  Anyone that is blessed enough to know Cherie knows everything I am about to tell you... and anyone that doesn't know her needs to drop by and wish her Happy Birthday and get her in your life... it will be a day that you will always be thankful for!!!!  I know!!!!

So much to say about our Cherie....

She is a wonderful mother and grandmother......

    ( I know she looks too young!)

Just please join me in wishing Cherie a very Happy Birthday!!!

Judi's Message to you...




I received this email yesterday from John's sister and best friend Judi:

Would you please tell John's friends on Facebook and Multiply (and other places he might have) what their messages have meet to me and my mom. I don't have the words to thank them all and tell them how sorry I'm for their loss too.


IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY BROTHER AND BEST PAL


REMEMBER HIM AS THE WAY HE WAS NOT AS HE IS TODAY.

REMEMBER HIM AS THE MAN WHO LOVED THE OUTDOORS AND NATURE AT HER BEST.

REMEMBER HIS SPIRIT AS A FREE FLOWING RIVER, A WIND THROUGH TIME OVER THE HILLS HE LOVED TO EXPLORE.

WE ALL LOSE EACH OTHER BUT NOT IN OUR MEMORIES AND HEARTS.

REMEMBER HIM AS ONE WHO LOVED YOU ALL IN ALL THE IMPORTANT WAYS.

REMEMBER HIM WITH A SMILE AND DO NOT GRIEVE TOO LONG
FOR HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.

JUDI OLIVERIA 2/6/10

TO ALL OF YOU WHO CARED ENOUGH TO WRITE ON MY BROTHERS WALL AND SPACE

MUCH LOVE AND APPRECIATION
MAY YOU ALL BE SAFE AND WELL
JOHN'S SISTER JUDI

Happy Birthday to our Gator!





It's rolled around again....
Our Gator is another year young!!!!
And just where might we find him????

Photobucket

Well you might find him in the swamp....

Photobucket
He may be sitting at his computer...



Photobucket


We know for a fact from the past...
Where ever you have been able to find him...




Photobucket
There were friends around him...
 because our Gator is loved!




Photobucket

These days it is no different....
You will find him hanging out with friends
,





Photobucket
Or trying to rescue them...

Photobucket

Lots of friends around him...
some bring music to his life...



Photobucket

Some look pretty and smile...
(They write good too!)



Photobucket
Others are good guys like our gator...
(and are on their way to playing a mean guitar).
And nearly just as cute...
even when you can't figure out what they are up too.
Photobucket

Each of us are so proud to be his friend!!




Photobucket
And where you find Gator & Friends....
You find cameras!!!!
Because no one shares their knowledge
and expertize with a camera like our Gator!!!
