The Way We Were

On Monday we went to the funeral of our good friend, John Whicker in Payson. He was Dad's best man at our wedding, and Dad was his. Here they are looking young and dapper in their tux's on our wedding day, August 10, 1973. We have lost someone who made us laugh and always had a smile and a joke. John knew how to enjoy life and make others happy. On the front of the funeral program it said "I can't wait til tomorrow" something John always said. It seemed quite appropriate for a funeral. But his punch line was "Because I get better looking every day!" John taught us that we should love life and live every minute of it, so I can't wait til tomorrow either. Thanks for the memories, John.

What a nice post. Love the pic. Have you taken your wedding photos out of that old album yet? You should make your wedding album the next one you scrapbook.
