This will be Bethany's all time favorite gift--not necessarily because of the many messages from family and friends but because it is your idea and is a gift from the heart--way to go!
Our message is attached.
Love
Gordon and Martha
Dear Bethany
I remember the first day I spoke with you when you moved to Sherman. You made such a beautiful and sweet first impression and that impression has continued to grow stronger through the years.
Some of my Favorite Memories:
Ø Visiting you, Danny, and Belle at Wilson N. Jones Hospital on the day of her birth which is our Hillary's birthday, also.
Ø Belle's first birthday party
Ø Planning Thomas and Kelly's Wedding Reception together
Ø Swimming and afternoon chats around the pool
Ø Danny serving with Gordon in the Bishopric
Ø The day you told me that Danny had been offered a new job and your family was leaving Sherman
Ø The night I shared my deepest worries with you and Danny and you placing your arms around me as I wept
Ø Your love and prayers
Ø Developing workout programs for us
Ø Danny enjoying MG's with us while you were out of town—ha!
Ø Danny getting back on his eating program when you returned—ha!
Ø You and Belle visiting and loving my parents
Ø Meeting your great parents
Ø Going to Ross' basketball and football games with us
Ø The night we were all together at a basketball game when Ross scored at the buzzer.
Ø Being a wonderful example to us and sharing your strong testimony.
Ø Teaching our children the gospel
Ø Allowing Brooke to visit you in your new home and showing her New York City
Ø Your "almost" return to Texas
Ø Making an ever-lasting impression on our family
This is only a short list of some of the highlights of our friendship. We hope you have a wonderful 30th Birthday and enjoy all of the future ones that lie ahead! Best Wishes!
except from the Rodriguez' from Howe, TX. Hope that you have a wonderful B-day in company of your great family. Seems like yesterday that you all moved from this part of the world, but you and your family will always be remembered.
