    A very special "Thanks" to our children for giving us a most perfect 50th wedding anniversary reception. You said, — "Mom and Dad, all we ask you to do is to show up! We'll do all the rest.'' You certainly did, and Mom and Dad are so proud of you.

    You made us feel that, when God blessed us with you in our care, that we've done a good job. For there is nothing so quick to bring a tear to the eye, or a smile to the face — as your children.

    Thanks and love,
    A proud Mom and Dad
    Phyllis and Clyde Miller

    Sincere thanks to our family and the many friends who attended the 50th anniversary reception our children gave us at the Rossville American Legion Sunday afternoon, May 20.


    This was a busy day for all with so many graduations at this time.

    Thanks for sharing it with us, too. Your presence, along with the lovely cards and gifts, made our special day truly a perfect day. Thanks!
