Dearly Beloved and Honored Guests,

Joe Lawson Jackson II and Mildred Irene Harlow have invited us here today to share in the celebration of their enduring love and commitment to one another. We come together to recognize a love that has grown and provided them strength and joy over the years. Love is one, though its expressions are infinite. It is fitting to speak briefly about love.
