Happy Birthday, Anne!

Dear Hearts,

Motorcycle Mama Anne with
her steady cohorts.

August 10th is the birthday of Anne Elizabeth Sullivan Daly: daughter of Big Sully and Mary Claire; sister of Jim, Mary Fran, John, Mike, Matt, Jerry, Margy and Patty; mother of Claire and Willis; wife of Malachy Daly; stepmother of five, with a flock of Irish grandchildren; auntie, cousin and friend to scores more folks.

Professionally, Anne is highly accomplished, having trained and worked as a registered nurse and a lawyer. Today she is the Vice President of Compliance at Samaritan Health Services in Oregon. She and Malachy have recently settled in Milwaukie, Oregon in a lovely home with a yard full of fruit trees and berry bushes. She is enjoying the Pacific Northwest weather and natural beauty.

Her passion is not limited to her work, though. Anne is a loyal and passionate wife, mom, sister, auntie, cousin and friend. She will defend and debate right alongside her loved ones, then turn around and makes us laugh until we wheeze with delight. She is one of the funniest women I know.

Anne also has an uncanny ability to connect with children and make them feel secure, confident and comfortable. She is in love with the cutest set of pups--Copper and Penny--who are her constant companions.

Happy birthday Anne, and may you have 61 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.

God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.

Love, Patty
