Dear Supreme Master Ching Hai,

Baby Patrick and I are truly appreciative of your thoughtful baby gift. The Toys R US gift certificate was great. We thank you.
As Baby Patrick grows, I will share the touching and heartfelt stories of how supportive so many wonderful people were during this most difficult time.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I know that Baby Patrick's daddy thanks you, too.

Sincerely yours,
Irene Lyons
