HAPPY 40th ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD

I would like to wish my parents, Rev. Tommy and Willie Self a happy 40th wedding anniversary. They were married July 2, 1966 in Madisonville, TN by the late Rev. James Thomas.

I called them before church this morning to wish them a happy anniversary. I asked daddy if he would do it again had he known 40 years ago what he knows now. He replied, "yea, probably so."

May God give them many more happy years together.
