HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY TO ASHLEY!

1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Today is my great-niece's 13th birthday. As Bryan's and Tricia's first child and Karen's and Paul's first grandchild, ASHLEY was the first "great" in our family... our Mom's first great-grandchild and my first great-niece so you know she has always been very special to us all! Ashley is a beautiful girl and smart, too. But most of all, she is a born-again Christian... a Godly teenager. We pray God's richest blessings upon her today (her first as a teenager) and for the rest of her life!! Happy Birthday, Ashley!

Love,
Great-Aunt Susan

Ashley, our Great Niece

This is my lovely GREAT niece, Ashley. She is Paul's and Karen's granddaughter and daughter of Bryan and Tricia. Ashely is 12-1/2 years old and will be in the 7th grade this fall. She is as pretty as her petite mom and as tall like her dad, so she got the best of both sets of genes. Isn't she a beautiful ballerina. Ashley has accepted Christ, and she is just as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside. We love her lots! ~~Great Aunt Susan
