It give me great pleasure to celebrate a beloved and pretty aunt on her 80th birthday anniversary. I am always delighted seeing her at every opportunity. I took special note of her love for every member of our family. From time to time, she calls to ask after everyone in the family. My prayer is that God will grant her good health in her old age and things of joy she will continue to see for the rest of her life in Jesus name.

Happy 80th natal day to you ma.
