To find the one compatible enough to share your life
To share the goodtimes and the bad as husband or as wife
To cast aside temptation and the pitfalls that appear
And stay together, come what may, through every passing year....

Takes patience, perserverance and the luck of Irishmen.
It is a race that we all run but only few will win
And should that time reach sixty years it is miraculous
A goal to be admired and envied by the rest of us.

I tried to do it once and I am happy to report
I almost made it! (I was only 59 years short)
But here within our midst we have a man who made the grade
And it is time to give our guy a ticker-tape parade.

Our thanks to Ron for dedicating valued cyber-space
And Nancy Ness for building it with dignity and grace.
Please stop on by, take off your shoes, say hi and wish them well -
The Diamond anniversary of Sy and Isabel!!!!!

Well written M'deer!

Happy 60th Anniversary to Sy and Isabel!


That's the way it should be, you should be very proud of being together for so long,
and I am happy that fate was kind enough to give you that 'soulmate status'

Take care and enjoy your celebration!

Sy/Isabel....I am just trying to get to 40
years...and that is a few from now...  

Takes a lot from both to commit oneself to
marriage for that length of time....

I think Lou and I will make it that far...
simply cause we won't have time to break
anyone else in...in the time remaining...

Congratulations to you both.....

One of the memories I took away from my weekend in Florida earlier this summer was the look on Isabel's face when Seymour had been telling about Alaska and she said "He came home to me." The love on her face made her look like a bride... and that was simply beautiful. *S*

This poem is beautiful, also... Thank you, Deer One, for celebrating them in style. *S*

Happy Anniversary, Sy and Isabel! *S*

Michael,
Well deserved prais and a perfectly done line...all in one! Thanks.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
