My Dearly Beloved Children,

 

I want to thank you every one, with all my heart, for all you so lovingly did, to make my Birthday such a very happy one, one that will always be outstanding in my memory.

 

Just to see all your precious faces around that lovely spread table was a marvelous sight, never to be forgotten by me.  You are my greatest Joy.

 

I am certainly blessed with a wonderful family!  All the Love, presents, and money you lavish so freely on me—I can never repay.

 

But I pray God to reward you a thousand fold. 

 

With deepest appreciation and fondest Love,

 

Mother Lambert
