▪ Can't tell you how enriched I feel being a part of this wonderful community and tradition you began! Maybe, just maybe someone else could have come along and made something like SMGB, but I doubt it would be here today, and I doubt it would have the loyal (rabid) following. That was your work, your commitment. You are a tremendous asset, and a fantastic person (and one day I even may be able to say this to your face). So - my best wishes to you on this birthday. Thank you for the gifts you have shared with us! -Parryander

Note: If you submitted a greeting and it doesn't appear on the card please resend it to jayden via KosMail so it can be added. Also, if you didn't notice your KosMail invite in time to send a message to be included on the card when it was posted you are welcome to still send your message to jayden and it will be added. Finally, we did our best to surreptitiously comb through Franki's DKos "address book" but our methods were admittedly imperfect so there are undoubtedly many friends and fans of our gracious gardening goddess and kind knitting know-it-all who did not receive a solicitation for a greeting. If you'd like to write a greeting to be included on the card, send it to jayden via KosMail and it will be added. Just remember, keep it brief! Thank you all again for joining the birthday celebration for our cherished cussing community cultivator from Colorado, Frankenoid! -jayden
