HI Liz- I’ve been thinking about you, knowing that this big day was approaching - I think you are a marvel, and am soooo glad you are a WOW woman. By most definitions, you were arguably born a WOW woman. Happy birthday - the other Liz

Liz darling, In my will, I have requested that you speak at my funeral, and since I intend to live a long time, it means you have to aim for at least 100. No one who knows you doubts that you’ll make it. You have more life and smarts and affection and kindness to give your friends than anyone I know. Meanwhile, I pray I can keep up with you (although I know I can’t) and wish you the happiest of birthdays. I love you. Joan

Happy Birthday, Liz. Thank you for the many many hours of amusement you’ve provided all your fans over the years. Thank you even more for the good works you do and to which you loan your name. Thank you the most,however, for adding an aura of elegance, dignity, ethics and standards to an arena which has become sadly tawdry and despoiled over time. You are a class act, with no axe to grind, no reputations to soil, no malicious intent of any kind. Thanks for setting such a fine example (if only more of your peers would follow suit!). Brava! May you enjoy many more years of success, health, happiness,and all the love and laughter you can hold! Warm regards, Laurie J. Macdonald
