GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY … We are overjoyed to announce the 50th Anniversary of our parents, Mike and Deb Hand of West Unity, Ohio. On January 22, 1975, Michael W. Hand and Debra L. VanArsdalen exchanged vows at the United Methodist Parsonage in Pioneer, Ohio, with Rev. Gilbert Delong officiating. Dean and Connie Anderson were honored to stand as witnesses to this significant occasion. Throughout the years, Mike and Deb have been blessed with five wonderful children: the late DeWayne Lee Hand, Michael & Theresa Hand, Tina & Jeremy Dennis, Martha & Pete Frasca, and Jeremy (Hand) & Tess VanVlerah, including daughter-in-law, Becky Hand, fifteen grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Moreover, their home and hearts have always been open, welcoming many other children and providing them with love and support. Join us in raising a toast to many more years of happiness, cherished memories, and continued adventures. With love and warm wishes, we celebrate this wonderful milestone golden anniversary of Mike and Deb. May their journey continue to inspire us all and fill our hearts with joy.
