grandchildren; and |

|
|
St. Mary's University in her hometown and helped guide young Texans |
|
|
on their path to successful adulthood as an elementary school |
|
|
teacher; Mr. Carter, who hails from Beaumont and who holds a degree |
|
|
from Texas A&M University, is an engineer by profession and also an |
|
|
entrepreneur; in both their personal and professional lives, the |
|
|
Carters have demonstrated hard work, dedication, and respect for |
|
|
others; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The 39 years of marriage that Mr. and Mrs. Carter |
|
|
have shared is eloquent affirmation of the meaning of love and |
|
|
commitment, and their enduring union is an inspiration to all who |
|
|
know them; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |

|
|
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Carter as an expression of high regard by |
