united in matrimony at a ceremony held at Trinity Baptist Church in |

have remained constant in their commitment to each other, and the |

|
strength of their love has enabled them to meet life's challenges |
|
|
and opportunities with grace and optimism; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
