SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 828

	WHEREAS, When they married many years ago, Benny C. Utley
and Fannie L. Utley placed great faith and trust in the future, 
and they have been amply rewarded, as they are now celebrating 
their 50th wedding anniversary; and
	WHEREAS, The world has changed considerably since they 
married on June 11, 1955, yet Mr. and Mrs. Utley have cherished

raise their family and Mr. Utley worked hard so that she could 
do so; and
	WHEREAS, Patriotic and religious, they vote in every 
election and attend their church regularly; Mr. Utley, a proud 
Korean War veteran, and Mrs. Utley, a strong believer in high 
principles and values, are true examples of the people who have 
made this a great state and nation; and
	WHEREAS, Over the years, they have grown stronger in their 
love and devotion as together they have experienced the joys and 
sorrows of everyday living; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Utley have been blessed with a 
wonderful family, which has been a source of much pride and joy 
to them; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Utley are sharing their happiness 
with their family and many friends at a reception on June 5, 2005;
and
	WHEREAS, The long and happy union of Mr. and Mrs. Utley 
is truly an inspiration to us all; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,

Mr. and Mrs. Benny C. Utley on their 50th wedding anniversary; 
and, be it further

this distinguished couple as a memento of this special day in 
their lives.
