As a tribute, Larry wrote this poem to commemorate the special occasion and show their love to Kirby Pines, too. KIRBY PINES COUPLE RENEWS THEIR VOWS As my wife and I were approaching the retirement age, we received a book about "Growing Old". We read every page. We highlighted the places we considered, both of us must agree so no one would be bitter. We were determined to have this task done. We did not want to leave it for our sons. We spent weeks checking out all the places. As we looked at the residents and noticed their faces, we saw some smiles and some frowns. Most of them were upbeat and some were down. We did our homework, our research and we were done. We selected Kirby Pines as The One. With sixty acres of beautiful landscaped grounds, a place for picnics and walking, it's always safe with security around. So come and check out Kirby Pines way, ease your mind and be ready for that retirement day. A Poem by Larry Anderson
