What I became now  is because of you and I will be forever grateful for that. If I will be given a chance to redo my life again and decide for my set of family, I will definitely choose you again.  We are so blessed to have you as our parents.

We love you and Happy 39^th anniversary. May God keep on flaming the love you have for each other.  May He gave you more bountiful, beautiful, memorable years of togetherness and may your love continue to  inspire us to believe that there's forever to those who  put God in their life and in their relationship. 

With all hearts,

Your children (Lyn, Paye & Krisma)
