Not many people live long enough to celebrate 70 years of marriage. We are so glad to be able to share Kent’s parents 70th Anniversary with you. The family shared a commemorative day with them when we were all together at a granddaughter’s wedding in May.
A recent picture at our family celebration.
And let’s show you a few picture over the years. Starting on their wedding day.
Early in their marriage with Alyce’s grandma Minnie two of their sons and a nephew.
There are many more pictures but I hope this gives you an idea of their lives over these 40+ years that I’ve known them. Their daughter and Kent and I hosted a party a few weeks ago for their 70th here in their church. It was well attended and even our own daughter-in-law and grandson Silas were visiting us at the time! They had some visitors that they haven’t seen in 50+ years. They enjoyed the afternoon and the good wishes and many cards and some gifts they received. It was a special time!
A few pictures from the day, as I was trying to make sure it all went well, so didn’t take as many pictures.
Well, it was a wonderful time. As I said not many people make it to 70 years of marriage. They are the first couple that I know personally that have made this milestone. We pray that you enjoyed your celebrations, mom and dad!
love,
Jan for the roaming Reimers
