A memory book was prepared for them along with a table of old and recent photos reflecting on the past fifty years.

The cake was a gorgeous two-tier white decorated with handmade candy lilies with gold accents. The punch was a tasty blend prepared by the oldest daughter of the Jayroes. Roast beef, turkey and honey ham deli style adorned the food table with all the fixings.

Jimmie Lloyd Jayroe asked Jane Jayroe for her hand in marriage again, as he proposed to her on bended knee. He also presented her with a gold and diamond anniversary ring. Pastor Gary Johnson of the Calvary Worship Center in Corsicana helped them renew their vows. After she said yes, she was quickly adorned with a veil and bouquet. At the conclusion of the renewing of the vows the group sang for their supper, ate cake and the children of the Jayroes presented them with a suitcase full of things they would need for a seven-day Caribbean cruise.

As they left the celebration they got into their car that had been decorated with signs and cans by their grandson, Little Jimmie from Kansas. They then dragged up and down Main Street as they did some 50 years ago.

Jane (Gable) Jayroe lived in Dawson as she was growing up. Jimmie Lloyd Jayroe grew up in Purdon on a farm not far from the town.
