Happy 80th Birthday Mr. and Mrs. Sabino Diaz Mr. and Mrs. Sabino Diaz of Sterling will celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary April 20, 2018. Molly Campbell and Sabino Diaz were married at St. Mary Church in Sterling 5 years ago, after many years of sharing their lives together. Blessed with many children in their lives, they hit the ground of married life running. That said, a public announcement of their marriage was somehow over-

looked at the time. Today, we joyfully celebrate their 5th year of marriage. May you continue to love and support one another for many decades more. We love you both and are so proud of you. Congratulations from all of your family! Molly Diaz is employed at CGH Medical Center and Sabino at Dixon Sewer Equipment.
