"Happy happy birthday good friend!!!! You are eternally young and your 20's are now. You know that youth is wasted on the young. Fortunately your youth is not wasted because you are more wise than young and you live each day attracting boundless love and you live each day in the NOW.

"Happy birthday to one great man I admire Jim Swilley husband to Ken Marshall . You're an inspiration, brave to stand for what's true no matter what the situation is. U were right on my google front page this morning when I woke up. You are on the front line You've taken most of the arrows. I love you and I pray for you to be restored to your greatness this year. May you rise over everything that has tried to put you down to your rightful place that God destined to be. The best is yet to come. Big blessings are in store for you this year. These blessings will run and overtake you. And this year shall be called a year of restoration. 
My love to you and Ken
Be blessed!!!!"

"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."
