Teresa,

I am sending you this heart as a way to honor and acknowledge you. I have always loved you (Flopsey Mopsey) and am now delighted to see you as a mature young woman, wife, and mother ... gracious, thoughtful, caring, and making a difference for those with whom you share your time, energy, and love. You are a treasured gift both as my niece and my friend; my love and respect for you is boundless.

I received this heart from an incredible woman and friend, Bev. As you know, we have shared a rich and rewarding journey of friendship, growth and learning that exceeds 25 years. To pass forward to you, the heart she shared with me, is to give something precious and much greater than the heart itself. For me, it encompasses our hopes and dreams and all that matters and makes a difference in the world and in life.

I trust you will commit this heart on its journey by sharing it with someone you personally hold in high esteem, just as I hold you.

With all my love and respect,
Your "Aunt Peggy"
