Monica, as you celebrate turning the big 5-0, your family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances have come together to share their thoughts and memories about you. These messages offer a vibrant snapshot of who you are and the many ways you’ve touched their lives. From heartfelt stories to cherished moments, each note is filled with love and admiration, topped off with warm blessings and well-wishes. One thing I love about you is your intelligence and boldness. I still remember the time when Berth and I joined you for a presentation in Accra. You made me feel so comfortable. You weren’t the typical Ghanaian auntie; I think your Canadian heritage played a part in that. My wish for you is a long life and the opportunity to witness your niece and me get married. Happy Birthday, Monica! Christopher What I really like about you is your tenacity, can-do attitude, kindness, and generosity. Above all, I admire your devotion to God. I have a lot of memories with you. We grew up in Ghana and have known each other for over four decades. Our relationship has been flawless. I remember our walks to attend youth Bible teaching services at Community 11 St Paul’s Methodist Church, where we would talk about many things, encouraging and advising each other. You are more than a friend to me. As the Bible says, “There is a real friend who sticks closer than a brother.” My wish for you on your 50th is that all your dreams and aspirations are fulfilled in your lifetime. Eunice One great memory I have is from 1995 when you and my brother Ato were dating. We all took a day trip to Akosombo Volta Hotel. There were three couples in a small BMW 3 series, so you had to sit on Ato’s lap, but you were very shy then. Monica, I love your generosity, kindness, and consistent support for the needy. You never miss an opportunity to help someone in need. On your 50th, I wish you a life filled with joy, love, and continued success.
