H.R. No. 1758



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A half-century of marriage is certainly reason for 
celebration, and on April 23, 2005, David and Caranelle Bodenheimer 
of Gladewater marked this significant milestone by renewing their 
wedding vows in the company of their family and friends; and
	WHEREAS, Given away by her son, Duane Bodenheimer, her 
son-in-law, Logan Ashby, and the remaining members of her family, 
the bride was attended by her sister, Nancy Thomas, while the 
groom's attendant was his sister, Diana Hodde; serving as flower 
girls were the couple's granddaughter, Ashley Bodenheimer, and 
great-granddaughter, Cara Boyce; and
	WHEREAS, The Reverend Kay Overcash, a longtime family friend 
from South Carolina, conducted the ceremony, which included the 
performance of a love song written by the couple's daughter, Donna 
Ashby, and sung by Kelly Harper; Ms. Harper's daughter, Dorinda 
Harper, read a letter of tribute; and
	WHEREAS, The finishing touch was a pronouncement by Reverend 
Overcash that the couple were now Mr. and Mrs. Caranelle Hill, in 
honor of the bride's wish that after 50 years of marriage, her 
husband would take her name; and
	WHEREAS, Together, David and Caranelle Bodenheimer have 
shared the myriad blessings and challenges of marriage through five 
decades, and it is fitting that they be honored at this special 
time; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate David and Caranelle Bodenheimer on 
their 50th wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best 
wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the Bodenheimers as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.

                                                                         Merritt
