Paul and Cleo VanDyke



December 7, 2012
Richlands, Virginia LDS Building
50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration for Paul and Cleo VanDyke
Food - Friends - Fun
What a celebration!
Cathy McClanahan, Pat Brannon, Kaula VanDyke and I decorated for days.
Cathy cut cedar from her hills to smell fresh and festive.
Debbie Clifton organized the Hors D'Oeuvres to guarantee a beautiful display.
It was advertised "come and go" -- people came...but no one left.  Great party.

Paul Van Dyke
Three brain surgeries...radiation every morning and chemo every night
doesn't keep this man from smiling and finding the good in life!
He asked everyone he met, "Are you coming to my surprise party?"
There is not a more generous or hard working woman anywhere!
Cleo Van Dyke
Paul and Cleo are our landlords, and made our apartment over their garage into a doll house!
We love them dearly.
Celebrating 50 years together...


Jan McClure made a signature friendship quilt for everyone to sign.
Treasured friends - Lifelong memories.
The block I signed is blue.
