Laymans celebrate anniversary

Happy 50th Anniversary, Mom and Dad

(Anthony and Alma Layman)

Married Feb. 21, 1958



Some people write bestsellers,

or pen the next hit song

but it takes more than talent

to make love last this long.

Imagine half a century

has passed since you began

as newly married man and wife

God clearly had a plan.

His blessings soon continued;

Your family did thrive; Steve, Kathy, Patty and Charles the big surprise!

You raised us up in faith and love

and taught us right from wrong.

Recall all those trips up to Lake and many to the farm!

Where did you find the patience?

How did you make the time?

You packed a million sandwiches

To help save a dime.

Well folks, it all was worth it!

Those memories still glow. We think of all we learned and shared,

So many years ago.

Time has a way of marching on,

the decades pass so fast.

That 12 grandchildren, and one great Grandchild now fill the shoes we four wore in the past.

Joshua, Matthew, Dustin, David, Heidi,

Nathan, John, Chad, Andrew, Amanda,

Hannah and Brittany their names are not so new!

Then there is great grandchild Keegan to make our hearts anew!

And now we’d like to take the time

to wish you all the best.

And after all these years, it’s clear

you two have aced time’s test!

You’ve done such good for others,

And stood firm in God’s grace.

God’s forgiveness in your struggles

gave us strength to face this race!

So here’s to half a century Of marriage and of bliss

If watching you has taught us, a lesson it is this;

Be good, be kind, be honest;

Honor God and family, too.

We’re all so very proud to say

That we are part of you!

After raising a family together in Gilmore, the Laymans were able to realize their dream of building a home on the family farm in Finzel, Md. They continue to live on the farm where many memories continue to be made together and with friends and family.
