On this very day, July 5, 1944 a young soldier married his beautiful bride. She was a student at North Central College, and worked at the base where the handsome soldier was stationed. The G.I was far from Ohio, his home. The bride was in her hometown, Ada Oklahoma, where she lived with her parents and three sisters. They fell in love, and eloped to Denton Texas, where their love story began. Today would have been their 69th wedding anniversary....the first one they have ever spent apart. So..Dad, we showered your Bride with love today. Every time she walks by your pictures she gazes into those beautiful blue eyes... And is grateful for all of the years of love, loyalty and devotion to her. She still says, " He was the best "......and you were. Happy Anniversary in Heaven Dad. We will continue to wrap Mom in love and care...you are missed and loved by many.
