We first met in 1989 through Joe, as you are his aunt — and from that time, you have been nothing but warm and welcoming. You are truly amiable and have a special way of making everyone feel at ease around you. One unforgettable memory we share with you is from 1997 — driving around Kumasi after midnight, looking for a private hospital that would admit a young lady fromAccra who was in labour and had never attended antenatal care in Kumasi. I learnt a lot from that entire journey to having my first child and the initial days in your care. It taught us that kindness always brings gratitude and blessings. You’ve always been compassionate, affable, and loving. We still laugh when we remember your one all-important question for any young lady who was dating — your humour and honesty were unmatched. AuntieMonica, thank you for being a mother to so many, including us. As youmark this special milestone, we wish you God’s continued blessings, good health, and many joyful days filled with love and laughter. Joe and Baaba I first met you when you were working on your two-bedroom apartment, and since then, you’ve been more than a friend — you’ve been like a mother and a true family counselor. You’ve always shown up with love and support, no matter the occasion, and that means a lot to me and my family. I’ll never forget your sincerity in everything you do. One moment that deeply touched me was when you helped find admission for my sons after I relocated. You went out of your way to help, and your story about managing your home after losing your husband truly inspired me. It reminded me that strength, faith, and perseverance can carry us through the hardest times. You are kind-hearted, generous, and full of wisdom. If I could thank you for one thing, it would be for the love and care you’ve shown us — I’d give you a big hug just to let you know howmuch youmean to my family. Wishing you good health, happiness, and endless joy in this new chapter of your life. You truly deserve it. Dean 100 The Birthday Journal
