Mike and Michele

Our son Michael and Michele Fast said their wedding vows at Sunrise Baptist Church, September 6th, 1991. They lived in Mt. Vernon before moving to Everett because both jobs were close. Michele a bood store in the mall and Mike began his career with Boeing. Much to our dismay their marriage didn’t last but Michele will always be my daughter.
