WHEREAS, March 14, 2017, marks the 50th wedding anniversary |
|
|
of Jon and Mary Peterson of Jersey Village, and this joyous event |
|
|
provides a fitting opportunity to reflect on their rewarding |
|
|
journey together as husband and wife; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Jon Peterson and the former Mary Elizabeth |
|
|
Shackelford were joined in matrimony on that memorable day in 1967 |
|
|
in Houston; over the years, they have been blessed with a treasured |
|
|
family that includes their son, Christopher, as well as their two |
|
|
grandchildren, Cody and Sadie; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Valued residents of the Jersey Village community for |
|
|
nearly four decades, the couple are both retired from their |
|
|
respective careers; Mr. Peterson served his country proudly as a |
|
|
member of the U.S. Army, and in his civilian life, he held positions |
|
|
with AT&T, Boy Scouts of America, and the Cypress-Fairbanks |
|
|
Independent School District; Mrs. Peterson was also employed by |
|
|
AT&T, where she worked as a secretary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In their leisure hours, Mr. and Mrs. Peterson enjoy |
|
|
hunting, fishing, and spending time with their grandchildren; |
|
|
Mr. Peterson counts cowboy action shooting among his favorite |
|
|
hobbies, while Mrs. Peterson takes pleasure in her membership in |
|
|
the Red Hat Society; sustained by a deep faith, they are both |
|
|
devoted congregants at their church; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The half century of marriage that Mr. and |
|
|
Mrs. Peterson 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 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Jon and Mary Peterson on their 50th |
|
|
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. Peterson as an expression of high regard |
|
|
by the Texas House of Representatives. |
