You better believe it has be marital bliss. You can tell by the look on their faces. On Sunday, January 13, the four Kimpel girls (now all lovely ladies) threw an anniversary celebration for their beloved mom and dad in the basement of 1st United Methodist Church in Ellwood City. I'm guessing there were close to 200 people that came to enjoy wedding cake and fellowship. In some breif comments made by Pap to those gathered, he commented on all 4 of his girls whom he made come up and stand in front of the crowd (ugh!). Pap recalled Lisa's non-stop crying as a baby. He recalled Beckie never crying and he and Peg wondering what was wrong with her! He recalled Mary's crying on the phone to a teacher she felt had not been fair with her. She had a difficult time explaining herself through her tears. And Pap remembers telling people that when asked what gender he thought his 4th child would be, he and Peg had no doubt from the very start that it would be another girl -- exactly what they wanted. It was -- exactly what they wanted -- a Jeanie Beanie!
While Paps comments to the crowd centered on his four girls, it was obvious that his true love was the women who stood by his side...and has been there for 50+ years. Peg's love for Pap is just as obvious. Two of the kindest, most self-sacrificing people on God's earth.
We ALL love you, Pap & Peg.
