While Daddy made magic with his music and Mommy held down an 8 to 5 job, both balanced a daunting task of raising nine children.   The decisions they made during our growing up years left us questioning at times.   In our youthfulness, we failed to see that their actions were meant to nurture and guide us on the right path.  Looking back, these truly were moments to cherish.

No amount of words can describe how much the two of you have played such a significant role in our lives.  On your 50th wedding anniversary, we celebrate a golden day, a day fifty years ago when God blessed us with the greatest gift of all - our wonderful parents.
