Before I sat down to write you this note I went out under the night sky and gazed up at the
stars, as I often do when I think of you. The other day I was reading about scientists finding
new planets believed to have an earth-like climate capable of sustaining life. What an
amazing universe we live in! You always had such a great thirst for knowledge… I bet you’re
getting things all figured out. I love you, Kristin, and I wish you a happy birthday. Watch
over your sisters; may they be reminded how much they are loved, by Jesus and by their
family. I’ll give your mom a big hug from you on Sunday when I see her. XOXO — Aunt
