"Ada, our 65 years of marriage represents love, trust, partnership, tolerance, and tenacity. True love is beautiful, and it lasts forever. Ada, thanks for the many years we have shared together. When I felt hardship you stood by my side, held me up, and gave me strength to stand tall. When I felt happy, we laughed together, and it brings me joy to see you smile. I find comfort just sitting with you, without words. You make my soul stronger, and inspire me to be a better person. The circle of my life was not complete until I found you. I love you with all my heart and soul."
