Mark and Pam Luettel card of thanks

Mark and Pam would like to thank the family for having the card shower for our 50th wedding anniversary. We received many anniversary cards and even a few sympathy cards from friends and family. Thanks also for greetings on Facebook, by text or phone cards, they were all greatly appreciated. Thanks to the friends who gathered to celebrate our anniversary — these are always special and fun gatherings with much laughter enjoyed. Our children will be celebrating in the coming days with us. Thanks again.
