Celebrating the Oakes 55th Wedding Anniversary with song written by dear friend, Nodie Murphy (sung to the tune of "immoretal, Invisble") In health and in sickness to have and to hold, For richer, for poorer—no promise of gold, Two souls independen, yet long joined as one, Uplifting the other as life's work is don.
"To love and to cherish til death us do par"— A well-honored oath you have taken to heart. Your faithful devotion has shown us the way. May God's love surround you and bless you each day.
