Thank You!

Hi Everyone!
I think I'm still recovering from my birthday bash. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed visiting with so many of you. Thank you for making my birthday spectacular!!

I received so many wonderful cards, gifts and donations to the melanoma research foundation. I really appreciate everyone's generosity and kindness and I really enjoyed reading all of my cards. Also, I received a beautiful bathrobe from Lord & Taylor, but unfortunately I don't know who to thank. If anyone knows, please help me solve this mystery.

I also want to send out a big thanks to my dear friends and family who made this party happen. You guys are amazing!!! I am so lucky to have so many supportive, caring and awesome people in my life.

This has been one of the best birthday's of my life. I just feel so happy and so fortunate to be able to celebrate life. Thanks again to all of you who help me to keep strong and positive and for continually providing me with support, love and laughter.

Love,
Erica

Indeed, what a party! A good time was had by all, although I believe some were disappointed to learn that they didn't know you best :)

We are the lucky ones. As I've said before, you are an inspiration, and you look fabulous to boot!

Love,
Tracy
