Bill and Nelda,

Thought we would send a note to the "young marrieds" to wish you a very happy 50th anniversary!! If it is with you as it is with us, it seems just like yesterday when we walked down the isle. But, of course it wasn't!! Frank will turn 50 in a couple of years!! We can't believe we have a child nearly 50, but we look back at our wedding pictures and say, "Wow, we were just kids!"

We were so happy to see you guys and the kids last year. ("Excuse me, you said John, WHO? MERCY!!) My, we wish we looked as vibrant and health as you two did, but again, we are older!

It is wonderful that you reached this major milestone in your lives. May God continue to bless you as he has so far!

We love you,

Ray and Yvonne Allen
