My husband and I left Ludington in September of 1952. We moved to the Flint area, where my husband Gene obtained employment at the Buick Motor Division. Our two children at that time were Douglas, who was two years old, and Kristine, who was one year old.

In June of 1954, we moved to our present address in Mt. Morris. In 1958 Deborah Kay was born, and later on in 1964, Stephen R. came bouncing into this world. Our little family of two boys and two girls was now complete.

I decided to start working and obtained employment at the Flint Osteopathic Hospital in 1969. I retired in 1990. Gene and I started spending our winters in Florida and enjoyed it very much. This past year circumstances were such, because of Gene's illness, we had to give up on it.

During the years of our marriage, God has been so good to us, even though we had our hard times to go through. He has been with us in the bad times as well as the good times. He attend Hilltop Church of God in Flint, where Gene preaches on occasion, and where I taught Sunday School for quite a few years. I enjoy our grandchildren and like to babysit with the little ones. We have had a good life, and thank God for the many wonderful things He has done for us.

Respectfully submitted,

Iva
