Love Ya always!" - PH "Happy birthday, to a brave and wonderful man. Have a great day." - LPW "My life would be so different without the YOU-FACTOR. I watched you speak from the stage, 1980 or so, and immediately loved you as my own soul. Without you, things wouldn't be as bright, funny, clear, sharp or free. I was a bird but you gave me wings. When I hear something profound.... or funny.... or shocking.... or amazing or bizarre..... I want to tell YOU about it. You presence is electric. Your revelation, deep. Your friendship? A valuable possession I would not trade for silver or gold. You have helped me live. I will not die without your perspective. You are stuck with me. And, in the next place, I am sure you will be part of my Heaven. Happy Birthday! I Love you." - RR "I have so many wonderful words I could say that describe what an amazing man you are, but I would be writing all day ! I will say you are the kindest, most caring,loving and giving man I've ever met ! I have so much respect for you and I'm very proud of the man I see and love very much ! My wish for you today is that your special day will be filled with many blessings and love and I'm looking forward to celebrating many more wonderful years with you ! Happy Birthday to the man in my life that I'm proud to call my husband ! I love you !" - Ken Marshall
