Over 30 years together (married for 29, this August). We are best friends and TRULY love one another! We Pray, Love, Laugh and Live!
We would like to thank you for supporting Mike and Roberta Heyward in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Our love story began when we were working at the same place. I had just graduated from high school and took a temporary position at a factory. Mike was an employee there. When I saw him, I knew he would be my forever. Despite our initial struggles in getting together- I knew God placed us on each other’s lives forever. Since, he has retired from the police force and I am hoping to retire in the next few years from education.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?As a couple, we spend a lot of time together. We are rooted in family and spiritual values. Our greatest memory is spending time with our children, grandchildren, and family. We also love to travel! Taking our first cruise this past December is a favorite memory! This cruise allowed me to conquer my fears of cruise ships. We planned it after I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Sept. ‘2024. We had a grand time and are ready to set sail again!
What would you do with $20,000?If we won, we would donate to our church, charity (cancer research) and plan a 30 year wedding anniversary trip or celebration (or both)! Who knows, maybe we’ll take another cruise! We have never been on the love boat but our love will sail on forever!
