Early Autumn Greetings! As I sat down to write this letter I was suddenly struck by all the times I’ve been able to connect with my Precious Moments family, sharing a little bit of my story while also hearing about yours. Whether through letters like this, emails, phone calls, seminars, or even silent prayers, our communications have always given me joy and a sense of family belonging. We may not be related by blood, but we ARE family nonetheless. For nearly three decades (29 years to be exact!) you all have been there for my life’s happy milestones as well as the sorrowful valleys. I’d like to thank you for that. I feel so fortunate to have made such friends through my career, and I make new ones each year. One of the best chances for me to reconnect with Precious Moments family is at the annual Family Reunion Event held in Carthage, Missouri each Summer. We are excited to share some highlights from this year’s Event in this issue. You’ll also hear from a fellow collector and get a peek at what’s new for the coming seasons! It’s no secret that some of my favorite stories from collectors are the ones that speak to sharing the joy of Precious Moments with family members. I have seen some of you become parents and grandparents during my tenure, and you, in turn, have seen my babies grow. It truly is amazing to be able to share these moments of loving, caring, and sharing with so many different people from around the country and around the world. It is just further proof that you don’t have to share genes – family is from the heart! Again, thank you for being mine and for sharing 40 years of Precious Moments.
