WHEREAS, A golden wedding anniversary is a momentous occasion
for all couples, and February 18, 2006, marked that milestone for
Emmett and Claudette Dixon of Mineola; and
WHEREAS, Emmett Dixon and the former Claudette Milburn
exchanged the vows of matrimony at the Houston home of Claudette's
parents on that special day in 1956, and over the course of five
decades they have nurtured an ever-deepening love and respect for
one another; and
WHEREAS, In building a relationship based on patience and
understanding, this devoted couple were following the example of
their own parents, Emmitt "Coot" Dixon and Odell Smiley Dixon of
Mineola and Claude Milburn and Mildred Juergen Milburn of Houston;
and
WHEREAS, The union of Emmett and Claudette Dixon was blessed
with the birth of three sons: Jerry Dixon, now a resident of
Kingwood, Roger Dixon, who resides in Plano, and Tommy Dixon, now of
Sachse; the joys of family life only strengthened the bonds between
Emmett and Claudette, who were active in youth-group activities
when their children were young as well as in the functions of their
church community; and
WHEREAS, With the passing years, the branches of this proud
family tree have continued to spread; the children born to each of
the Dixons' sons have allowed Emmett and Claudette to become doting
grandparents who enjoy sharing their wisdom with another
generation; and
WHEREAS, This couple's commitment to each other is a
continuing source of inspiration and joy to all those dear to them,
and it is indeed a privilege to recognize their rich and enduring
relationship; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 50th
wedding anniversary of Emmett and Claudette Dixon and congratulate
them on this most auspicious event; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Dixon as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
