Dear Hailey,
This 1920 Baptismal gown was made by your great-great-grandmother, Marion H. H. (1897-1954) for her first born, Rita M. H. (1920-2007). She grew up, made her living as a writer and played the piano most of her life. Those talents have seeped into the next generations.
What this little gown represents are all the previous generations that brought you to us. You will hear stories about these long ago relatives, fantastic tales as well as some tragedies. But for now, it will be exciting and an honor to watch your life as it unfolds.
Many generations from now, your tales will be shared as part of our family's stories.
Welcome, Hailey!
Love,
Great-grandmother Colette
Great Aunt
