Official Book of Greetings & Congratulations

This special book of congratulations and memories was put together by Shawn Jorgensen, as his main gift to his parents, Ross & Gail Jorgensen, on the occasion of their 60th Wedding Anniversary – July 27, 2023.

This is not an every day occurrence, as I’m sure you can imagine. In fact, less than 1% of Canadian couples reach this milestone. The rarity of the event can be seen in the policy of Buckingham Palace in London, in which the King will only send greetings personally to a couple when they have reached at least a 60th anniversary – or an individual who reaches 100 years of age.

To view each of the documents received for this book, please click the right arrow beside each of the first graphics in each set that you will see below (for example, the right arrow beside the photo of the leatherbound book itself, under the title “The Book Itself, etc.”)

You may go through each document at your own pace – there is no automatic forwarding between graphics. You will note the number of items to view is listed under each section’s first graphic shown.

And if you personally submitted a letter, card or other means of greeting to my Mom and Dad for this book, THANK YOU so much. It meant the world to them, and it was an honour for me to connect with so many of you, at times for the first time in many years.

Every day that we are able to share special days with Mom and Dad like this is a true blessing, and you have helped make it even more special.
