May 4, 1996: Grandpa & Grandma Thomas's 50th Anniversary Party







Today was Grandpa and Grandma Thomas's 50th Wedding Anniversary.  Before the church service, Charlene, Mom, Steve, Diann, LuAnn, and I set up the decorations for the dinner at Russ's banquet room on Holton Road in North Muskegon.   The immediate family sat at the head of the table.  

The church service was lovely.  Charlene and mom went with Grandpa and Grandma to present the gifts to the priest.  I'm glad they got to celebrate their 50th anniversary.   Grandma looked pretty in her pink dress and grandpa looked handsome in his suit.

Grandma Thomas was looking weaker.  She had early Alzheimers.   Grandpa was like an Energizer bunny that never stopped.     

Grandma Gonyo came to the service, as well as the dinner.   It was so good to see her.  I hope we can help find a safer place for her to live.    Her street (Manz) was starting to become run down and unsafe.

The dinner, cake, slide show, and stories were great.  I was so nervous when I stood up in front of the 50+ people to tell a story about Grandpa and Grandma.   June and Maxine served the cake.
