   Congratulations on a life well-lived.
   Thanks for using your personal skills to move the country forward in such constructive ways, large and small.
   And this tribute is from a Regis (Weston, MA) grad (’53) who is so proud of your displaying the great lasting multiple depths of a Catholic women’s liberal arts college education.
   Best wishes for the future.

   Yes, indeed I second that! As a woman I am so proud of the Speaker. She has endured insults and disrepect because she is a woman. It was wonderful to see her walk side by side last weekend with Congressman John Lewis, who also endured terrible trials as a black man all in the name of equality and civil rights. They are ushering in a new era of civil rights where everyone has a right to healthcare, regardless of race, economic class, or gender. Yes, they are the champions of all Americans and they deserve or praise and respect for their moral courage!

    Happy birthday Speaker Pelosi – you have so much to celebrate today! Your incredible, successful efforts to pass health care reform are inspiring. I hope that this triumph will galvanize your fellow democrats to quickly and confidently follow your lead on other pressing issues.

    Please know that you are a role model for young (and not-so-young) women and men alike. There are literally generations of Americans who aspire to make the kind of positive changes for our society that you have so boldly accomplished. You have demonstrated how to stay true to your convictions and press forward in the face of incredible adversity and unabashed vituperation.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    I hope that you can take a few moments today to set aside that enormous gavel, take a few deep breaths, spend time with your grandchildren, and consider the magnitude of your achievements on their behalf. YOU DID IT!
