J. Charlyne Doerle @ 80! (8/21/12)

Hard to believe you’ve reached this milestone so quickly,
Why it seems like yesterday we acknowledged your 70th!

Along the way, you’ve remained solid as a rock,
Ever kind, ever diligent, ever giving of your talents and offerings.

I’ve never heard a cross word uttered from your lips,
Rather, heaps of affirming, inspiring words are dominant.

You’re known to have infused me with musical hope,
Via supportive patience and commitment to the learning process.

Your presence and efforts have kept Starting Anew a vital force,
Lending organization and leadership initiatives so constant.

One-of-a-kind you are, worthy of life’s best offerings,
While we celebrate the blessings your humanity has brought.

Happy Birthday Char, with enduring love and appreciation!
