From Kristen Heiden

Happy Birthdays! That can't be a recent picture?! Wendy, you look the same as the day I met you in, hmmm, '96 (ish), and great as usual.

You probably don't know what a wonderful influence you've been on my life so I'll go on for a bit here. You taught me about family, tradition, child (teen) rearing, and staying active, among many other things. You still come up in conversation with my husband (and 8-month old!) and my parents, who remain grateful for you all having been part of my life during the formative college years. By the way, I'm a full fledged tennis player now - we play a few times a week. Couldn't teach my old-dog husband new volleyball tricks so I switched. You're lucky to have such a wonderful husband and David and Laura are gems. I miss you all. Enjoy your big year...

Cheers!

Happy Happy Birthday Stuart and Wendy!! So thankful to have had our lives connect and for the times we have shared, both happy and sad. I am blessed to know you and your families. As Kathy mentioned, paths cross for a reason and at the right time. There are no coincidences. I have learned so much from both of you and from your entire family. It was truly one of the most wonderful times in my life. Wishing you both a wonderful birthday, a safe and fun trip to Hawaii and a year full of good health and much happiness. Happy Birthday to 2 great people. With Love, Michelle Gibson xoxo
