Dear Friends,

I would ask your kind remembrance of my mother, Helen, who today is 78 years old.

We spoke very openly with one another and my mother gave me the supreme compliment, "Alex, you taught me how to pray."

And I told you, "And you taught me how to be a human being."

Whether or not you agree with that latter point, I would ask you to kindly remember her in your prayers today!

Alex

Dear Alex:

More years to your beloved Mother who, like the Theotokos, points to her son as the fruit of her own labor!

Mnohaja, blahaja l'ita! (I hope the Administrator will not sue me for this.) wink

Brother Alex,

I had a feeling that we had something else in common, my mother's name is Helen(Elena in italian)and she is 91 years old. I will gladly add your mother to my prayers today. All my grand parents were from the old countries.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALEX'S MOTHER HELEN,

Powodzenia !

In Christ,
james

Thank you, Khrystyna!

I'll tell her "Khrystyna" wished her happy birthday - she'll think it is her granddaughter!
