Here's poem that Anne wrote for Mom and Dad on the occasion of their 50th anniversary in August, 2006.
A Lifetime of Love
For 50 years, my mom and dad
Have been married, have been glad
Together they have been a team
With love and friendship as their theme
They’ve always shared the same ideals
Caring how each other feels
They’ve always tried their very best
Whenever taking on a quest
While raising kids, they did display
Integrity, honor, and fair play
Their loving guidance and high expectation
Produced kids with an education
Through the years, they’ve had much fun
Birding, camping in the sun
Taking photos, hikes and trips
Family times and good friendships
Through 50 years, their love is strong
Together is where they belong
My mom and dad, two hearts, one voice
Husband and wife, partners by choice
We’re proud of you and this special date
We love you and we celebrate!
Happy 50th Anniversary!
With love,
Anne

I remember Frank and Jo sharing this with DJ and me during one of our visits that year. Their marriage was (and continues to be) such an inspiration to DJ and to me. Their love and friendship has been of great influence to us, and a constant reminder that the people we choose to journey through life with are the greatest treasure of all.
