Happy Anniversary

It has been 65 years since that rather hastily organized wedding took place. And yet it endured.
At least until 25 years ago, when Dad passed away. Regardless of that circumstance, though, we're all grateful for the time they had together. And I'm doubly grateful for the fine upbringing they provided. Happy 65th, Mom!

Thanks for posting this John. We have one of the most remarkable families that I have ever seen and it started with these two wonderful people a whole 65 years ago. This includes 6 kids, 18 grandkids, 15 great grandkids and 13 in-laws whom we have welcomed to the family.

Yes, you do have an amazing family. And it is a blessing that John and Jeanne got together 65 years ago. Mom loved your parents/grandparents. Your Dad, John, was like a brother to Mother. Cheers. Colleen
