Dear Simone,
Happy Birthday! I am so sorry to miss this very special celebration. (I am on a Baltic cruise with my Dad, celebrating his 80th birthday.)
Thank you for your friendship, collegiality and always generous spirit. You inspire me with your courage, grace and kindness. This world is so much richer because of your compassionate presence.
My heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to you for a truly wonderful birthday celebration. May your year ahead be absolutely beautiful!
Fondly,
Joy
