celebrate their 64th wedding anniversary; and |
|
WHEREAS, Leroy H. Palmer and the former Jackie Lou Cutright |
|
attended school together in Jal, New Mexico, after their parents |
|
moved there during World War II; united in matrimony on that special |
|
day in 1949, the couple moved to Texas shortly thereafter; they have |

his wife, Fay, and they have shared in the joy of welcoming into |

|

|
Algeria that Mrs. Palmer learned to paint fine china, a hobby she |
|
still enjoys today; Mr. Palmer has acquired a love for antique cars, |
|
and he takes great pleasure in making an annual drive to Georgia and |
|
back in his vintage 1931 Ford Model A; Mr. and Mrs. Palmer are both |
|
valued members of Southland Baptist Church; and |
|
WHEREAS, For 64 years, this devoted couple have nurtured a |
|
strong bond of love and respect, and as they look back fondly on |
|
many happy times and cherished family memories, it is indeed a |
|
pleasure to join in honoring them on their enduring union; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Leroy and Jackie Palmer on their |
|
64th wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes for |
|
continued happiness; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Palmer as an expression of high regard by |
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
