WHEREAS, A 65th wedding anniversary marks a lifetime of |
|
|
mutual devotion and shared experiences, and Douglas and Susan |
|
|
Freeman of Lexington celebrated this joyous milestone in their |
|
|
marriage on April 29, 2025; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Freeman first met at the Houston |
|
|
Livestock Show and Rodeo in their youth; smitten, Mr. Freeman |
|
|
"borrowed" her senior photo from a pal and kept it in his wallet; |
|
|
two years later, a mutual friend called to let him know that she was |
|
|
home from her freshman year at Texas Tech University, and they |
|
|
subsequently went on their first date; their courtship blossomed |
|
|
over the summer, and she transferred to Sam Houston State |
|
|
University to be closer to him; they became engaged that October; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Joined in matrimony in 1960, the Freemans settled in |
|
|
Katy, where they raised four daughters, Jennifer, Lauren, Allison, |
|
|
and Shannon; they moved to Lexington in 1983; over the years, the |
|
|
couple has set an inspiring example through their unwavering |
|
|
dedication to each other, to their cherished family, and to their |
|
|
community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Freeman have enjoyed six and a half |
|
|
decades of abiding love and affection for each other, and they are |
|
|
among an exceptional group of men and women who can claim such a |
|
|
lasting commitment; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Douglas and Susan Freeman on their |
|
|
65th 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. Freeman as an expression of high regard |
|
|
by the Texas House of Representatives. |
