It was November 24, 1974 that this beautiful girl came into my life. I remember when she was born, the doctor motioned to me to come along and watch the birth. What I received was a little red faced bundle of joy. They say red faced babies have quick tempers, which proved true with her, but her loving spirit outweighed the temper. As many of you know, Heather is a caring person, not only for humans, but for her many animals. She’s a lot like Noah, she has to have two of each animal.

Another thing about the young ladies in our family; they love shopping. The favorite spot for them to shop was the mall. This was the case with Heather and Henry, they met each other at the mall. You might say she had a successful shopping spree, finding Henry

Our entire wedding party: Front row: Amber (second cousin), Becca (friend), Corey (nephew), Brian (brother-in-law, Corey's dad). Back row: Susan (friend), Patty (cousin), Kim (friend who was with me when I met Henry), Teresa (my sister, Brian's wife), me, Henry, Jeremy (Henry's brother), Brad (friend), Jim (friend), and Dad.

Two beautiful people with equally beautiful qualities met and fell in love. As people who know Henry realize he’s always there to help day or night, asking nothing in return but an appreciative “thank you”. He’s overcome many hardships in his life and turned out to be an outstanding young man.

The thing that’s notable about both of these young people is their smile. Who hasn’t been charmed by it after getting to know them? There’s a lot we could say about them in a positive way, but most of us know about these things

Being the father of the bride, I’m going to miss my little girl.But, as they say, you’re not losing a daughter, you’re gaining a son. He’s a son that both I and his parents can be proud of, just as I am of my own son. I wish Heather and Henry a happy marriage, and I love them both very much.
