The Marvel of Resilience One thing that stands out about Jayne is her incredible resilience. Despite being a mother of six, she manages to look as good as ever. Her ability to handle the challenges of motherhood without complaint is awe-inspiring. I, for one, couldn’t imagine handling what she does with such grace and poise. I remember seeing Jayne at a birthday party in Ghana, and she was glowing. We had so much fun dancing. It was only later that she admitted she was pregnant. She looked awesome! Jayne’s ability to radiate happiness and energy, even during pregnancy, is a testament to her strength and resilience. Happy 50th, Jayne! May the coming years be even more amazing for you. TheWarmth of Jayne’s Heart One thing I absolutely love about Jayne is her amazing warmth and that beautiful, infectious smile of hers. She’s not just a superb mum but also an incredible person. Thinking about great memories with Jayne, I remember those delightful moments enjoying her delicious jollof and chicken, especially made for her “favourite aunty” – the flavours, the laughter, and the warmth of family gatherings. We’ve also had wonderful times going to the park with the kids and attending some fantastic parties in London. The laughter and camaraderie were always the highlights of these occasions. As Jayne steps into the next decade, my wish for her is an abundance of God’s blessings, an overflow of peace, a heart full of love, and, most importantly, good health. May the years ahead be filled with all the joy and success she truly deserves. My Younger Sister Jayne, you are like the younger sister I never had. Your calm and sensible nature has been a constant source of strength in my life. Our shared memories, from our time at Essex University to all the moments we’ve spent together, are treasures I hold dear. You’re an amazing cook, second only to my Mum! As you embark on the next decade, I hope you have all the time you need to relax, recharge, and recover, especially after those Sunday evening Zoom dance sessions with DJ Fisho. Here’s to many more wonderful moments and muchneeded relaxation in the years ahead. Cheers to you, dear friend! Dzifa Dotse CalmConversations One thing that stands out about Jayne is her pleasant and easy-going nature. I have fond memories of the rides home fromwork when we both worked at Tullow. Jayne lived in my area, and our conversations during those commutes were always interesting and enjoyable. As she enters the next decade, my wish for Jayne is that she experiences another level of grace and that she reaps the rewards of all the good seeds she has sown over the years. May her children and husband continue to rise and hold her in high esteem, recognising the blessings she brings to their lives. Nana Ama Appiah Betty Padi Matthew Folson 40 The Birthday Journal
