AN amazing woman is celebrating her birthday, marking years of earned wisdom and love from family and friends. As she turns another year wiser and lovelier, a dear soul is sending her wishes with this letter:

My dearest Corsky,

There are no words to describe a compleat woman like you. For you have been blessed with a blissful marriage, motherhood and carreer.

This comes as no surprise as you are a caring giver and a nurturer.

Like sisters, we have shared endless moments and experiences that are worth cherishing in our lifetimes.

Through the years, our friendship has become deeper and more solid.

Our souls have been bonded by our common strengths, ability to inspire others, resilience and contagious passion for life.

You exemplify your name Cora, which refers to the Greek goddess of agriculture and which means just honest, virtuous or good.

You have been a wonderful woman behind a great man. And an exemplary mother to your devoted children.

On your latest milestone, I wish that you continue to be surrounded by loyal and loving friends as well as family. I also look forward to spending more quality and fun-filled time with you.

May you remain to be the salt of the earth and a walking example of humility, kindness and warmth.

Wishing you more blessed years of health, happiness and success.

From your loyal friend forever,
Virginia Tan
