Happy Birthday Sweet Lydia!!
You have entered the teen years you truely are growing into a young lady! As you mature my prayer is that each year you will feel closer to our Lord and you truely know Him better! I am sending a gift today (a little late as usual) and thinking of you on your special day. I love you more than all the 13 year olds in the world! Aunt Debbie for the Pipoly Clan
The moment I saw that baby picture before I had even scrolled down to see the current picture, I knew it was Lydia! I remember exactly what you looked like at that age because Robin and I took pictures of you the day we came all the way over to Glendale to see you. What a delightful day that was to share in your parents' joy! And today as we celebrate your birthday, we are continually delighted, especially to see what a beautiful young lady you have become, both inside and out.
Happy birthday, Lydia!

Happy Birthday, Lydia! This is the poem I leave for all my friends on their own special day. Blessings on you!
May all your years be filled with faith,
And strength for that which faith requires.
May joy be present every day,
Through peace and through trials fires.
May "Further up and further in!"
Be the brand of your advance
At home, in battle, and may Jesus
Always lead you in the dance.
