Trace... hmmm, what to type to YOU...wonderful you! in this seemingly small space- Happy Birthday 21 year old!!! You know what, I am going to be selfish and right off the bat tell you my wish for your birthday (hee hee!), I wish that the Lord would continue to USE and SHAPE you into the strong (in the Lord's stength kind of way) woman He is making you to be, so I can continue to be INSPIRED and ENCOURAGED and COMFORTED by such an genuine and simply lovely friend like YOU. I love YOU Tracy Schaan and today I celebrate having you as a friend in my heart, as well as the fact that you were born today (so many years ago)! Thank you for being you...you are perfect just the way you are (period!). Love: Mis

Wow!! 21yrs ago I (with a little help from some medical folks)delivered an amazing, bubbly, bouncy, wonderful baby girl and what a fun-ride it has been watching you grow, teaching you and learning from you!! We are soooo proud to be your parents and you continue to surprise us with your sensitivity, caring, and jou de vivre. I read recently that Joy is the experience of knowing that you are unconditionally loved and that nothing-sickness, failure, emotional distress, oppression, war, or even death-can ever take that love away. Today our prayer is that you will continue to drink deeply from the wells of salvation and taste the goodness of Your Lord and have a continuing, deepening revelation of His tender love for YOU!!
May you continue to walk in His ways and out of your life in Him continue to be a blessing to those around you!!

AMEN

LOVE ALWAYS.
MOM AND DAD
