There was a good sized group that attended the Detroit Christian Church Sunday morning, March 5, with several members of that group being from Becky and Mark Winner’s family and close friends to help celebrate the Winners’ 50th wedding anniversary. At the end of the service, Mark and Becky touchingly renewed their wedding vows. Afterwards, Mark and Becky treated the group of family and close friends at a meal at the River Bank in Florence. After enjoying the meal and watching them unwrap their gifts, several of the guests went to Pittsfield to see the newly purchased home of Kristina and Nic Carter. A good day was had by all.
