50th Wedding Anniversary Jim Hardy
Enid and John were Bridesmaid and Best Man at my wedding
over fifty years ago. Unfortunately my love, Eileen, passed on about six years
ago.
I come from a family half the size of the O’Rourke family. I
had five sisters and one brother. My brother died very young and my sister May
died in her late twenties. The other four are all here tonight, Agnes, Monica,
Enid and Claire, helping to celebrate this occasion. I think they take after
our mother who lived to the ripe old age of 90. Our father died in his early
fifties and I am the only male member of the Hardy clan to live beyond their
fifties. So I am very glad to be here tonight.
My four sisters between them had twenty-four children of
which Enid contributed more than half with 13. I must congratulate Enid and
John on their large family, the way they have educated them. They all have good
jobs and lovely families. Enid and John, you did a great job. Congratulations
on your family and your long life together.
