Good evening! My name is Sharon Isidro-Lacanilao, wife of Dan, our celebrant's 2nd son.
Because of significant advances in technology & medicine & maybe just plain good living for some, more and more people are living longer these days. Mom has joined that elite group of individuals who continue to be strong and vibrant in their latter years. As a matter of fact, Dan is fond of saying that Mom is healthier that any of her children!
Of course, she's gotten that way by following a strict diet, religiously seeing her doctors, but, most especially, she has reached 80 years of age because she has been faithful to her Lord Jesus Christ and her Lord, in turn, has rewarded that faithfulness by giving her a long and fruitful life.
Mom's greatest heritage is her deep & abiding faith in God -- that no matter what may come her way, she knows that God has ordained it all and because He has her best interest at heart, she can rest secure knowing that God's will for her IS the best.
So, Mom, on this your 80th birthday celebration, thank you for this wonderful example to our generation and, most importantly, to the generations after us -- your grandchildren & great grandchildren. Thank you especially for loving MY children -- ashley, justin & erin -- and my grandchildren -- Josiah & Keilah, whom you still have to meet in person!
We rejoice with you on reaching this significant milestone of 80 years well-lived. And we pray for more years where your family can enjoy your love and your wisdom and especially to learn more of God's faithfulness to you and to the Lacanilao clan.
God bless you, Mom!!
