I was born in Belfast. It was a Sunday. My Mother told my Dad, a beautiful baby girl Joey, a beautiful baby girl. My Dad was so happy, he wanted me to be named after my Mother. I was.
I was the second daughter and had three brothers. Later two more boys were added. I remember when I was ten years old coming home from school upset because the children in school said the world was going to end "tomorrow". My Dad was painting the living room and without missing a stroke said, "do you think if the world is going to end tomorrow I would be painting this room today?" my childish heart was comforted. My Mother died when I was fifteen. I married at almost nineteen and my Dad died here in Utah in 1988. I was truly born of goodly parents and taught the ways of the Lord.

Happy birthday Mommy! I've gone my whole life without calling you "mommy" but I've just come from a land where everyone referred to you (when speaking to me) as "your mommy." Anyway, I'm glad you were born and not just because I wouldn't have been born if you weren't. Love Alan
Happy bithday, Mom! I hope you are having a great day. It should be an all-about-Trixie Day! You are totally deserving of such a day. Thank you for being such an awesome mother, mother-in-law, and granma! My life would not have been as blessed if Alan didn't have you for a Mom. I love you.
