From their children:

From high school sweethearts to 50 years of marriage, your journey is a beautiful example of love rooted in commitment, patience and joy. Together, you raised three children with love and unwavering support, teaching us by example what it means to show up, stand together and find humor in the everyday.

As grandparents, you’ve taken on your most beloved role yet, cheering from the sidelines, sitting in the audience and showing up for every game, recital and celebration you possibly can, no matter the distance. Y our love and support mean the world and your presence never goes unnoticed.

Your 50 years together have been filled with love, family, laughter and purpose.

We are grateful every day for the foundation of love and strength you’ve given us all.

Happy 50th Anniversary mom and dad; we are lucky to be part of your story.
