Katie Darling:
Everyone else said everything I want to say: talented, amazing, astonishing…..really words can’t fully express our admirations for you. I know your daddy said: you are amazing, but please don’t be an artist. I don’t know how this can be avoided, because you are already an artist! A great one and an amazing one!!! It doesn’t matter what you do later in life, your artistic skill and talent will only make you a very unique one and be ahead of a lot of people. Treasure the natural born talent you have and enjoy being who you are!!!
Lots of love and happy 15th Birthday!
Gigi and Audrey
Happy Birthday Katie!
Love your drawings. We still saved your batman birthday card you did for Lucy in 2nd grade. Remember how we published your cartoons in the MSC Newsletter?

Happy birthday! Your creativity and skill in capturing expressive feelings and movements are breathtaking. I am so proud of you sweetheart. I am so fortunate to have you as my granddaughter. You give me my ultimate NACHIS! I so look forward to sharing your life and being close to you. I love you so much!
This is truly ASTONISHING, AMAZING, Breathtaking, Beautiful and just LOVELY!
It is the finest thing that a 15 year-old could put together!
Happy birthday Katie and I love you to no return !!!
I still keep your early early early masterpieces from about 12 years ago (wow!), and words can’t describe my fondness for your talent !
Love,
Yaoyao

We wish you ALL the best life has to offer, always! You are and always have been a very talented girl. Keep up your studies and good work. Hope to see you soon.
Katie,
These drawings are so very very good – I know your earlier work, and have always admired it. Now that you’re in a very good art program doing more classical drawing, you excel – you constantly amaze me.
I’m so glad your mom put them up so that we could see them.
Happy Birthday, with a lot of love,
Grandma
