To the editor:

We would like to express sincere appreciation to our children and grandchildren for honoring us with a 50th wedding anniversary party. Thank you all for the time and effort they put into the celebration.

We also want to thank all our family and friends for being there to join in the festivities. And thanks to those who were unable to attend but sent their good wishes.

We feel truly blessed. Thank you to all.

Jim and Lora Sheffield
