You accomplished a lot since your days in the NICU.  I'm extremely proud of the woman you've become.  You have always been a thoughtful person who tries to accept people for who they are, all the while setting such a fine example of how happy a Jesus loving person can be that the people around you want to be better.  Okay, maybe not Nikki Pfeiffer, but most people.  You always seemed to love the Lord, but your experiences at Hume Lake watered the seed and you blossomed as a Christian.  You soaked up knowledge in everything you did, from Brownies to 4-H to show business.  Like me, God blessed you with a wonderful Christian man to marry at a young age, but the two of you stuck to your plans and achieved your educational goals. You were a fantastic teacher.  As parents you and Jonathan are doing a beautiful job, which is the best gift I have ever gotten.  I have never had to worry for a second about those precious granddaughters, and your excellent parenting allows me to just be "G-Momo" and spoil them just a little.  I love how excited you got over Magnum bars coming to the U.S.  I love your sewing projects.  I went through my keepsakes of your childhood, and it brought back so many memories that made me smile.  Now that you have children of your own you know how much I love you.  You've worked hard to get to where you are today.  Enjoy the life you've built.  The next 30 years will fly by!  

Love, Mom
