Golden Wedding

RITA SACKLEY 50th Wedding Anniversary I really would like to shout this from the rooftops, alas I failed the MoT, so the good old "Echo" will have to do. All the words in the world would not adequately describe the love and wonderful care you have given me, or the happiness we have shared over the last 50 years. Suffice to say it has been the greatest privilege to have shared the life of a very remarkable lady. May we have many more years together. Your Ken
