Every body looks forward to this time of their life. They think it will be well, you know, but it’s not. I don’t mind being 55 but my body does. I wish my body was 21 again.
With love from Nancy & Doug

She keeps me sane
She makes me laugh
She puts up with all my crap
She makes each day a little bit brighter
The best friend a girl can ask for…a friend that is more like a sister.
She will never be forgotten…she always leaves her belongings everywhere she goes
There comes a point in your life when you realize who really matters, who never did, and who always will….she matters
She is a true friend, she sees the first tear… catches the second… and stops the third
Instead of saying “excuse me,” we push each other out of the way and say “Move!” We hug each other and laugh at random times about absolutely nothing. It’s who we are…crazy!
When she is on a mission…it’s best to just get out of her way.

A poem from Lainie
Dearest Lisa,
Today you turn the big 5-0,
Thank goodness you’re alive and still on the go!
We met way back, as Jeff as your date,
It’s too many years ago to admit to this late.
You’ve been there for good stuff and times of hell,
You not just a friend but my sister as well.
You’ve put your family first, that’s where you belong,
But spend time for yourself and make sure it’s long!
Although there’s no party, we’ll celebrate soon,
I’ll throw one back for you maybe two before noon!
Much love on your big day!
Love, Lainie (and the other guys)

A poem from Steven
Dearest Lisa,
A Freedman family tradition is to express our thoughts and feelings in rhyme. So in tribute to your 50th birthday, I am sending this with lots of love!
You married my brother,
so I question your taste.
You stuck around (so far),
no departing in haste.
25 years have passed
since you married the sot
I wonder if he realizes
the luck that he’s got
We’ve known you for longer
(you dated him first)
I attribute that to alcohol.
You must have quite a thirst.
You gave us first Becky
then Lauren close behind.
A lifetime of love
from a half minute’s grind.
The years have flown by
and they’ve dragged just the same.
At 50 years old
do you remember my name?
Half of a century lived,
now gone in a blink.
No more dating, or homework
or diapers that stink.
50 more years?
Maybe more? Why not?
With Jeff at your side
it’d be worth quite a lot.
Grandkids will come –
after husbands I hope.
The girls will marry great men
post boyfriends that grope.
Great joy you’ve brought
to our freedman tribe.
If I suspected you’d leave
I might offer a bribe.
I’ll end here by saying
we love you a ton.
Your a Freedman through and through,
and our true hearts you’ve won.
Lot’s and lot’s of love and wishes for another wonderful 50 years of joy and laughter!
Steven
