Congratulations to my 96 year old parents today, June 7th, on their 72nd wedding anniversary! This is amazing to most of us. As my 25 year old grandson, (their great-great grandson) said, " It is almost hard for a young person like myself to understand how truly amazing that is. Very cool!"
They started married life on a shoestring in 1939, on a rented farm with very little machinery, then purchased a farm and raised 5 children in a large house (that we all loved!), became pillars in the community, involved in Church and social activities their entire lives.
From a Granddaughter--"It is hard to imagine the tenacity and commitment that you have to reach a milestone of 72 years. And you have had incredible health and success throughout your lives. Truly amazing! "
And another Granddaughter says, "You have provided us with many examples of a life well lived; hard work, make sure to play, the importance of education, discipline with love, love & respect of God and each other. It is a high bar that has been set & I thank you for it! Happy Anniversary! All of our love to both of you! "
