Dearest Shelsi!

Happy, happy birthday!!!  

It is hard to believe that you entered this world 25 YEARS AGO!!!  I remember anxiously waiting for news that you had been born, how loved you were, and how very excited your parents and so many of us were about your arrival.  You are a very special spirit, with an important mission.

Our wish for you is..., in the year to come, may the most that you hope for be the least that you recieve!  Health, happiness, and more joy than you can imagine!  May Heavenly Father an His angels continue to keep watch over you and those you love, and bless you with every righteous desire of your heart.  

With love,

Kathleen and Mark Koltko-Rivera  >8

Happy, happy birthday!  Do hope you're having a good one and things are going your way!  It sure was nice seeing you over the kids spring break.  Keep your chin up, and that sweet smile shining on everyone!  We love you!  Wade, Chris, Sarah, and Brandon!  

Happy birthday, dear Shelsi granddaughter! Little do we realize that the road to perfection consists of many steps. The perfect little ten fingers and ten little toes have so much to learn and will accomplish so much. We look at that precious baby, and it was you 25 years ago, and had no idea how multi-talented you were. You have used your talents and brought joy to your family and everyone who has ever known you. You are showing special gifts even now by the peaceful you show, because it is you, all the way through. Now, the steps to perfection are steeper, but you know the One who has shown you the way so far will continue to do just that.
We are so looking forward to our camp/family reunion the first week in July. We will be calling you later today. Grandpa is in Lethbridge replacing his meds ( he left all his meds in a drawer on the "Norwegian Sun", the cruise ship we enjoyed last week).
Happy Birthday!!! Love, Grandma Hancock

Hello again. I wanted to let you know that I still think about you and pray for you.I'm so happy that you are continuing to get better. Have a Happy Birthday. We all love you very much. Goodbye for now.

Happy Birthday again, Shelsi!  I just saw a big error in my letter. I meant to say 'peaceful countance' you show. That countenance has never changed. Our friends see that too and admire you. You are confident in the One who has shown you and will continue to show you the way as you take those difficult steps to perfection, and so you show the rest of us the example. I love you!!! Grandma.
