40th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Five years ago this week (the 20th, to be exact) Momma went home to be with Jesus.  In so many ways it seems like so much longer, yet it sometimes hurts just as badly as if it had been just yesterday.  We miss you Momma, we always will, and we love you.  You were the glue that held us all together.  Thank you for giving us the roots to be a family and the wings to be individuals.  There was never, and will never be, another like you!

Daddy & Momma

Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?

She is more precious than rubies.

Her husband can trust her,

and she will greatly enrich his life.

She brings him good, not harm,

all the days of her life....

Her children stand and bless her.

Her husband praises her:

“There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,

but you surpass them all!”.....

Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;

but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.

Proverbs 31:  10-12, 28-30   (NLT)
