A Wedding and a 60 Year Wedding Anniversary at Palmer Ranch


Love in the Air at Palmer Ranch

Palmer Ranch was blessed to be able to celebrate a double event on Saturday, November 12th. Joyce Hessler, who is a Resident of our Memory Care Neighborhood, and her Husband David celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with us.

What made it extra special for them both is that their grandson, Robert VanHooser, had recently married his beautiful bride Amanda last month. Joyce was not able to attend the wedding in Virginia so the family brought the wedding party to her.

We were able to see the Bride in her beautiful wedding dress and the Groom in his wedding attire. There were several members of the wedding party as well as several members of Joyce and David's family.

There were photographers and wedding flowers and of course cakes--one cake for the 60th wedding anniversary and one cake for the newlyweds.

Joyce and David renewed their wedding vows with the family present. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. We are so thankful to the Hessler and the VanHooser families for including us in these wonderful events.

Best wishes to Joyce and David for 60 more years and to the newlyweds for a long and happy marriage like their grandparents.
