View of Love from Mom & Dad
LOVE in marriage is much more than storybook fantasy.
LOVE is that essence which holds two people together in good times and in bad times.
LOVE is the strength to endure periods of conflict, disagreements and personal setbacks.
LOVE is the glue that keeps a marriage intact through the years of building a home, raising children, and experiencing personal crisis of ill health and financial wows.
ABOVE all, love is longevity. It is the comfort you will bring with you when you reach your senior years.
MAY the love you have for each other now, persevere through life’s journey.
— Iris S. Turner
This poem was written by Iris for her son, on the occasion of his wedding. In the company of friends, family, and Our Lord, Iris was laid to rest today. We will miss her.

Thank you, Gardenia. Iris and her husband are my 3rd daughter’s god parents. I thought it was lovely too, and a beautiful message for all of us.
