Jack Augustus "Gus" Richardson, III - October 12, 1983




Today's Gus' birthday
We're so glad
Let's see how many
He has had.
First we'll count the candles
And we'll see...
One - no.
5 - no.
10- no.
15-no.
20 - no.
25 - no.
26 - no.
27 -yes!!!

Gonna stroll down Memory Lane
Won't you come along,
Before we start
The birthday song?



There are so many stories
About our Gus.
I can't tell them all
Or it'd cause a fuss.

I won't tell about the pageant
Where he won second place.
And he couldn't understand why,
What with his cute little face!

And the time that he said
He wanted a girl like me, sooo
I won't tell that he said
She should look better, tho!

Remember the games where
He tossed in the 3's?
He sure had the touch
For a white boy at LE!!

When he was only a teen
There were so many shocks.
Like our wreck and our losses,
Gus was definitely my rock!



He loves being an uncle
To Andrew, Asher, and Chloe!
And a master to Bailey--
She sure loves her boy!!



Nobody's any funnier,
Or has such a quick wit!
And a very big heart.
We miss you more than a bit!



Tho we're traveling now,
Rolling along,
We'll cya in November--
But for now, this short song.

Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday Dear Gustopherrrrr!
Happy Birthday to You!
And many more...
Channel 4....
Kiss the floor...


Love you, Gussie, and cya soon!
Mom

Brooke Schmidt McClintock - October 8, 1980

Today's Brookie's birthday
We're so glad
Let's see how many
She has had....
First we'll count the candles--
Nah, she'll think it's nerdy.
But she needs this poem cuz
This year she's THIRTY!




She's such a good mommy
To Andrew and Asher.
There's no better job
In this world---just ask her!



At church Brooke is busy
With nursery and song.
At work she helps doctors
Bring babies along.

She has so many kinfolk
And in-laws and steps.
Plenty of sitters....
(maybe a tad TOO much help?)

Brooke's a wife, mommy, sister,
A daughter and friend.
If we could pick a mate for our Justin
We'd choose her all over again!

Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday Dear Brooooooke!!
Happy Birthday to You!
And many more....
This song is not dirty....
Enjoy your next thirty.....

Love ya!
Becky
