Celebrating 95 Years! 2024.
Thinking of this Very Special Lady in this Milestone Year!
Sweet and beautiful Mom who is an INSPIRATION to so so many, who I love dearly and is the BEST MOM EVER!
As Mom absolutely LOVES flowers, thought it would be great to create a gallery page celebrating her and showcasing the flowers that brighten up her hospital-room window sill.
I so wish as Mom approaches her 95th on April 5th, that her current health journey was not such a difficult one.
“In naming our daughter, we were happy to learn that the meaning of “Jean”—God is gracious—fits with the wonderful women in our lives. From the stories April has shared, we know that Jean Penny is the epitome of grace, compassion and love towards others. We hope that Jean feels truly celebrated today, on her milestone birthday, and that she receives back all of the love that she puts out into the world. We wish her comfort and ease in the days ahead.”
“I’m so happy to be able to send a big, beautiful birthday greeting to such a beautiful person. I’ve been fortunate to know you now for 14 years and you have always been an inspiration to me. You have a beautiful smile that lights up the room and I can’t help but return a smile back when I see yours. I hope you have a speedy recovery and get back to Amica where they miss you so much. Happy 95th birthday”
“Many happy returns of the day to my dear sister. Just wish we could be there with you but unfortunately Val is not fit enough to travel so far. Remembering all the lovely times we’ve had together; the many trips to Niagara Falls, the holidays in the trailer tent, our visit to Eagle lake and the visits to the Heritage fish shop to name just a few. Hope you are feeling a bit better.”
“We want to wish you Jean a very happy 95th birthday and send all of our love and best wishes from the UK across the miles.”
“Happy 95th Mom! We hope you continue to get better and are able to return to Amica soon - Happy Birthday!”

“Dear Jean, Wishing you a memorable 95th Birthday! It was always joyful when we did Tai Chi together! You always had a smile & energy to share. We were happy to inherit Andy’s golf clubs that have been put to good use in Nova Scotia at our summer home. ”
✿ Thanks Armen, Erminia and Meghan for the lovely tulips for Mom (that also inspired the design of this page and provided the petals for my gratitude eco-art creations), and Kellie and Maggie Kat for providing the gifted technology to enable Mom to watch some of her favourite British TV Shows during her hospital stay).
Not sure what the nursing staff think of my creating eco-art pieces from fallen petals on mom’s hospital room window ledge though ?!! ;)
