HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Can we really be turning 70 this year!?! I hope you are having a wonderful day my dear friend. Ryan is so cute to set up this email address for your birthday. Sorry I didn’t follow directions and get this to you earlier. I can’t wait to see you at the September reunion in Chicago!
Love 💕

Diana,
You will always be Dennis favorite bumble bee. Happy birthday from Buzz OMalley 💕
Diana, I cannot think of you without seeing you with a fabulous smile on your face. You just evoke joy. I am a bit envious 😉 . We wish you continued joy, good health, and the enjoyment of family and friends. It has been our gift to know you.
Love and hugs dear friend and happy 70th!

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!
Dearest Diana…Sister x2, Camp Counselor Buddy, Lifelong Friend,
I want to welcome you to the next decade, which promises to be wonderful! Who knew that we would be here…at 70…so soon? Here we are! Time to greet the challenges and the rewards of a new chapter in our lives!
I am so thankful for you! Back in DesPlaines, I just wanted to live at your house and be your sister! Then, we got the chance to be sisters of a different kind at NIU. I cherish all the days and years we have been connected to one another.
We live in a very challenging and precarious time, now. Each day seems to bring news of concern. However, we need to work hard to also find the joy and the good news that is still present.
“We may not have control, but we have choices. With intention and focused attention, we can always find a forward path. We discover what we are looking for. If we look for evidence of love in the universe, we will find it. If we seek beauty, it will spill into our lives any moment we wish. If we search for events to appreciate, we discover them to be abundant.
There is an amazing calculus in old age. As much is taken away, we find more to love and appreciate.”
I love and appreciate you, my friend! That is a constant!
Happy Birthday, my dear one! I am so anxious for our next crossing in Chicago!
Love…Always… (Char)lotte Manny
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Dear Diana,
Sending you warm wishes for a wonderful 70th. In your case 70 must be the new 40!! All the best this year and always.

THE HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS
Dearest Diana:
I hope this next decade brings you much love, health, and relaxation! It hardly seems right that 30 years ago we came as an entourage to visit you. And that is how I always will picture you in my mind. Your lovely, welcoming smile and exuberant zest for life is contagious. In other words you are a wonder to be around. I always look forward when I hear that you will be attending a reunion. This is the time of our lives we must make the most of it and hopefully we will. So enjoy this milestone with your lovely family. Happy Birthday old friend.
Love from a much younger friend,
Carolyn OLeary (my birthday’s in October)
70 UNPLUGGED
Bonjour mon amie,
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you ( my dear friend for over 50 years) the most wonderful birthday ever. When it comes to aging, you have certainly broken the mold, Diana.
I can't wait to toast our new decade with a glass of champagne when we rendezvous in September.
As Winston Churchill so aptly put it;
"I could not live without champagne
In victory I deserve it,
In defeat I need it."
To victorious new beginnings, my friend.
💜 Sherry (Sichak)
WELL, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR!
Hi Diana,
What a very sweet way to send you birthday wishes! I hope your day and even more so- that the year ahead is full, happy, healthy and kind to you and yours.
You light up the room with your beautiful, engaging smile and self. Your presence is a joy and so welcoming to all. Keep on being a very special and dear soul.
It’s hard to believe this next decade is upon us. Definitely a time to count our blessings and maybe still raise a little “H.E. double hockey sticks”. Please tell me you know what that means. If not, ask your big sisters!
Love you,
Maureen White Matthews
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

CELEBRATING YOU!
Happy 70th Birthday, Diana! It is truly a gift to reflect on over 50 years of friendship! You have been and remain a friend for life!
I smile remembering so many times shared - our KD days, visiting you at your apartment in Arlington Heights when we all first began teaching, our weddings, your visit with Ryan James when he and Daniel were babies, our trips to Brussels, KD reunions, and connecting over the years from time to time. Despite the distance and time between seeing one another, I count you among my dearest of friends. Thank you for the gift you have been in my life.
Thoughts of you always bring a smile and make my heart warm. You are a joy and a blessing to all whose lives you have touched.
May your birthday and the coming year be filled with health, joy, and blessings. You are a blessing and a gift! You are so loved!
Happy Birthday, dear Friend!
Much love and God bless,
Barb and Wayne Tsutsumi

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIANA!
Diana,
You were always wonderful to be around - you brightened our KD house with your unique, beautiful (and fun!) spirit.
And it seems to me you’re even more marvelous with these added years.
Here’s celebrating you, Diana, with lots of love.
XOXO,
Ellen Palmer
