IT’S SIMPLE

Mary and I have been married for 60
years as of this February. How, you ask?
Simple.

We love and respect each other and show
it in many ways. I do as much for her as
she does for me. I am unselfish - not all
my life, but I am now. I am concerned for
her health, wellbeing and happiness. I do
my part at home and consider her in every
decision I make. I still love her as much
ever - probably more - and I always will.
