[1994]

Dear Aunt Edie,

I wanted to write to thank you for the many things you have sent recently.  
Thank you for the blanket, it is beautiful, I have it over the rocking chair in 
the living room, and Dominic loves to look at it while I rock him.  Thank you 
for the family tree, it was very informative, (although I do need to correct 
the spelling of Dominic's name: Dominic Nikola Eric Trionfo Lowhar.  I think 
perhaps Granny Rat heart it wrong over the phone.)  And thank you for the 
birthday present, the "Happy Birthday" was wonderful.  It matches the baby book 
you made for me so long ago that has always been special to me.

I also wanted to tell you what a wonderful person I think you are, you gave me 
many special memories.  The baby book you made me has always been so important 
to me.  I can remember the tape of you singing the "Hey, hey Gabriella" song.  
When I was little I listened to that a lot.  It made me feel so good, and so 
loved.  I have special memories of being at your house.  The berry patch, the 
bird feeder, the neat dishes you had (a strange sort of plastic, with little 
things on the side), the smell of your house, clean and fresh, the wood 
paneling on your walls.  I liked your house, it was fun to be there.  Thank 
you.

I will send pictures of Dominic as soon as we get some good ones.  I wish you, 
Harold and Ted well.

Gabriella
