Longtime residents of the South Belt area, David and Kaye Bergeron, will celebrate their 40th wedding anniver- sary Sunday, Nov. 17. David and Kaye have always been actively involved in the community, especially while their four children attended PISD schools and participated in area sports leagues. The couple’s children Courtney More- head Gordon, Amanda Bergeron Aden, Matthew Bergeron and Joshua Bergeron want to wish their parents the happi- est 40th wedding anniversary and to thank them for always modeling what a marriage is supposed to be like. They feel so blessed to have them both! Their grandchildren Jayden Robinson, Dylan Robinson, Olivia Kaye Aden and Joel Thomas Gordon send big hugs and congratulations to their Nana and Paw Paw Bergeron! They say, “Thank you for always being the BEST grand- parents and spoiling us!” Finally, David wanted to send a special message to his beautiful bride Kaye: “Kaye, I am thankful to God every sin- gle day that He brought such an incredible, kind, patient and loving person into my life. Thank you for loving me through hills and valleys of life. I couldn’t imagine my life without you in it and I hope you know how much you mean to me.” Striking the classic pose on their wedding day (left) are David and Kaye Bergeron. Below, gathering for a family photo are, left to right, (front row) David, Kaye, (back row) Joshua Bergeron, Amanda Bergeron Aden, Courtney Morehead Gordon and Matthew Bergeron.
