Nice words for retirees

Ioan Cristian Moldovan, the mayor of Luduș, said: “The International Day of the Elderly” is a special occasion to honor and celebrate as it should be the couples from the city who celebrated their “Golden Wedding” this year. In the year 1972 you held hands and promised to continue life together forever. I don’t know how hard it was, but I’m sure that during the five decades together, you were with the same dear man, you always gave and didn’t ask for anything in return, you understood his thoughts and lived life as a couple in – an exemplary way. Congratulations to the 30 families celebrating 50 years of living together. I wish you good health, enjoy your children and grandchildren. I wish you a happy birthday and a long, healthy life!”.

Andronic Stoica, president of the pensioners’ union, said: “I have known most of you for a long time, since you were young, and now I see that time has passed very quickly, but usefully, and you have reached the age of beautiful maturity. I congratulate you on 50 years of cohabitation and wish you much health and happiness”.

Ovidiu Crișan, president of the Pensioners’ Mutual Aid House, said: “For 32 years I have been dealing with the problems of pensioners in Luduș. We initiated this celebration of fidelity in marriage 26 years ago out of a desire to reward couples who have reached half a century of life together. At this stage of life I wish you to live many years in health, with the joys that your children and grandchildren bring you. Happy Birthday!”.
