Dear Maybelle,
Cecile and I send our heartfelt wishes for a joyous and blessed birthday! I treasure our long friendship since meeting you in Mandalay back in the mid-2000s during my meditation retreats. At the time, your daughter Michelle was just six—now she and her husband JJ have blessed you with beautiful Lyanna. We’re so happy you’re experiencing the joys of grandmotherhood in Allentown, PA.
Your devotion to your sisterhood group at Sacred Heart Church and your support of relief efforts in your community after Myanmar’s April earthquake speak volumes of your generous spirit.
Cecile and I fondly remember our 2018 visit to Southeast Asia, especially reconnecting with you and visiting the monastery together. Our daughter Michelle and Kyle still cherish meeting you all in 2017 and send their love.
With peace, love and blessings,
Dennis, Cecile & family
