SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 144
|
|
WHEREAS, When they married many years ago, Merlyn and Mary |
|
Whiteside made a lifetime commitment to one another, and their |

|
celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Merlyn and Mary were married on August 5, 1967, at |
|
the United Methodist Church in Greene, Iowa; the high school |

|
Vietnam, where he was stationed in service with the United States |
|
Air Force; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The world has changed considerably during the |
|
years of their marriage, yet Mr. and Mrs. Whiteside have |
|
cherished the traditional values that helped strengthen their |
|
bond long ago; 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. Whiteside have been blessed with a |
|
wonderful family; they are respected members of the Georgetown |
|
community, and the love they share is truly an inspiration to all |
|
who know them; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby extend congratulations |
|
to Merlyn and Mary Whiteside on their golden wedding anniversary |
|
and extend to them best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
