A 60th Wedding Anniversary is an amazing event at any time.
It was a real joy and privilege to be able to join with family to celebrate this milestone with Uncle Stewart and Aunt Lil, my mom’s younger sister. Together they raised their four children, had the privilege of being involved in the lives of their sixteen grand children and now nine great grandchildren.
I know that their marriage did not survive because it was an easy road but rather because they made a committment to each other which they held dear and were prepared to work hard to preserve. How wonderful it is to see them at this point in their lives still enjoying each others company and having fun with their family.
This is their grand daughter Sara, modelling the dress that Lil wore, purchased in 1951 at Garber’s for the exorbitant price of $34.00.

Was this event while you were in England? A beautiful couple! Beautiful gown. You know, 60 years ago wasn’t that long ago. I was 11!! Two of my brothers were married in ’51. Unfortunately, they didn’t live to see their 60th!

Indeed, a special Thankyou for posting this about Mum and Dad. We are
so blessed to have them in all our lives. Mum sure has started a legacy with all the children that have been brought into the world. It was very nice to see you at the party. You look great, and look very much like our dear sweet Aunt Mary, who we all miss very much. Your Mom would be so proud of all the good things you are doing in the world. Thanks again Pam, and God Bless You!!
