Their's is a love story.
A love of home, family, friends, and God.
This is a tribute to two
of the best parents that ever existed. I can say that because I'm
their daughter.
Mother and Daddy
Met in August 1946 in Fresno California. Daddy was a PFC in the Air
Force and Mother was a young carefree women looking for the right man.
As Mother and her two girlfriends sauntered down the street that evening,
her eyes caught the reflection of a handsome young man in uniform, standing
on the street corner with his buddies. Immediately Mother and her
girlfriends decided who would get which GI. Mother had very good
taste in men and naturally she got the "best of show"
And The Rest Is History...
Mother and Daddy were married on March 1, 1947. Their marriage has
spanned fifty-two years, six children, eleven grandchildren, and three
great grandchildren. But this isn't the end. Mother and Daddy are
active senior citizens who will never settle for retirement. Both
are very active in their church and spend countless hours still tending
to the needs of their adult children. They have raised two of their
grandchildren as well as provided daycare for the others. Daddy at
72, continues to mow 2.5 acres of land each week with a walking lawnmower.
Mother at 71, remains the matriarch of the family. When she isn't
chauffeuring for elderly members of her church, you might find her in the
kitchen, cooking for a potluck. In her spare time, she cleans...and
enjoys it!
Do Bill and Irma's Children
Love Them?
Of course we do! They continue to build good memories for us everyday
and tho we may not say it enough, Mother and Daddy, WE
LOVE YOU!
