An Important Day For Me

Today is the 79th anniversary of my parents' marriage. Dad (Perry Weismiller) was born on 11 February 1910 in Marysville, KS, and Mum (Doreen Louise Oxley) on 27 December 1923 in Horndean, Hants. They met when Dad was stationed as a PFC at Hq&Hq Sqdn, 8th USAAF, in High Wycombe, Bucks, and Mum was working in a nearby war plant.

They were married in All Saints' Church, Catherington, Hants, on 7 July 1945. I was almost a second anniversary present!

Here is the Church they were married in.

And here is their wedding picture, taken in front of the church door. Immediately to the left of the bride is my Gran, Olive Elsie Victoria Brown Oxley, and to her left is my Auntie, Hazel Oxley Sluggett. The flower girl in front of Auntie Hazel is my cousin, Doreen Sluggett Kizer. To the extreme right of my Dad is my Uncle, Albert Henry Oxley. I have no idea who the rest of the people are, tho' I'm sure Mum told me when I was a lad.

Dad died on 10 August 1952 in Marysville, KS. Mum passed on 27 November 2001 in Wichita, KS.

Please pray for the repose of their souls.

O God, Who hast commanded us to honour our father and mother, have compassion in Thy mercy, on the souls of my father and mother, Perry & Doreen; forgive them their sins, and grant that I may see them in the joy of eternal brightness. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Réquiem ætérnam dona  eis Dómine; et lux perpétua lúceat eis. Requiéscant in pace. Amen.

Memory Eternal!
