ANNIVERSARY

Richard and Vicki Heilman

40th Wedding Anniversary

The Happy Heilmans are celebrating 40 years today!

Richard,

The first night we met, you captured my heart with the twinkle in your eyes and your cute dimpled smile. I’m so happy to have spent 40 married years with you — you have been my rock in hard times, my confidant and my best friend. My heart still flutters when our eyes connect because we share a special knowing of each other. We have three beautiful children together. I just want you to know how very much I’m still in love with you — yesterday, today and forever.

— Vicki
