Message of Appreciation
As I celebrated my 70th birthday on August 14, 2026, my heart was filled with warmth from all the greetings, prayers, and kind messages you shared with me. Each word reminded me how blessed I am — not only for reaching this milestone, but for the people who have walked with me through the years.
Entering another chapter of my life made me reflect on the journey behind me: the challenges that shaped me, the joys that lifted me, and the countless moments of grace that carried me forward. God has surrounded me with a loving family, faithful friends, and loved ones who have made my life richer and more meaningful.
Your birthday greetings touched me deeply. They reminded me that love, friendship, and connection are the true treasures of life. Thank you for remembering me and for being part of my story. Your kindness inspires me to continue living with gratitude, compassion, and purpose.
May God bless each of you abundantly, just as you have blessed me with your thoughtfulness.
Forever Canadian with Gratitude, Leonita Hains & Family
