Happy Birthday, Ann

I'll keep it short, simple and sweet today.

I know you've been through a lot these past several days, but I hear that your mother and Sydney made it through the storm with you, and there are still people in this world who value you.

So, Happy Birthday Ann Michelle Costilow (DeVault). Things may look rough in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, but you have been in worse places and transcended. I hope all your friends and loved ones are alive and well. Things are just things and can be replaced (as well I have learned).

Love,
An old friend
