My dear Emma,

I can barely believe you’re 13! You are such a joy to me, and I’m incredibly proud to be your big sister. Ronna has really captured your spirit in this tribute–your individuality, and your love. You are one of the most intuitive girls I know, and you are observant. I love that about you. I hope that this year will bring more chances for us to spend time together and to communicate with each other. I love you! –Susan

Well, my dear Emma, I’ve loved you for 13 years!
I remember the first time I met you at your Aunt Van & Uncle Gary’s house. You were standing at their glass front door when I walked up the steps. You never showed the first moment of shyness when I greeted you and I was smitten with your sweet personality and spirit!
You are loved, my dear girl…and I hope your 13th year is awesome!
Aunt Beth
