GRATITUDE
We are so grateful to all of our family and friends who were able to attend and to those who could not. Your efforts made this a particularly memorable celebration. Your presence, your donations, and your best wishes will forever live in our hearts and be part of our love.
NOTES FROM THE PURCELLS
The day before the celebration, while chatting with our son Michael in the lobby of The Inn, we met Jessica and Justin Purcell. They are a married couple who are in the Army. They immediately impressed us with their sincere admiration for a fifty-year marriage and their wishes for our continued happiness. We invited them to attend the celebration. They accepted. We were honored by their presence. Above are notes they sent us to commemorate our fiftieth wedding anniversary.
