From Gaoa and Bill

This letter is to my very loved sister Lily and "favorite"brother in law Uncle Dean.
Wow!!! Where have all the years gone?....one day I find myself changing my little sister Lily's diapers.... and.. wondering how she could have had such a pointed bald little head... and how can I love her so much, in spite of her funny little head...and what seems like the next day... I find myself congratulating her and her eternal companion on their fortieth year of romance and bliss.

I love you both with all my heart and wish you both, at least another forty times three more. Thank you for all that you have done for my life, the life of my Curtis, Lisa and our Lita.

Hats off to you for sending off 7 (almost 8 ) of your children on a mission...and counting. I have nothing but respect for you two for the wonderful things you brought forth from those 40 years. Oh, yes, we did have a wonderful, extended, honeymoon, with the rest of our family camping, and celebrating some of our kids and family member birthdays, together.

We love you always and forever, Uncle Bill and Aunt "Gaoa"
