WHEREAS, An inspiring couple whose lives have been | ||
enhanced by a great and enduring love, Johnny and Bonnie Cates of | ||
Quitman are celebrating their 62nd wedding anniversary on | ||
April 7, 2017; and | ||
WHEREAS, On that memorable day in 1955, high school | ||
sweethearts Johnny Cates and the former Bonnie Williams were | ||
joined in matrimony in a ceremony held at the First Baptist | ||
Church of Gilmer; over the years, they became the parents of four | ||
children, Steve, Amanda, Laura Lee, and the late Scott Cates, and | ||
today their fine family has grown to include two additional | ||
generations; and | ||
WHEREAS, Valued residents of Quitman since 1970, the | ||
couple are now both retired; Mr. Cates served as a colonel in the | ||
Texas National Guard and Reserve and worked for the Texas | ||
Agricultural Extension Service, while Mrs. Cates enjoyed a | ||
notable career with the Quitman Independent School District; and | ||
WHEREAS, While much has changed in the world over the past | ||
62 years, this devoted husband and wife 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby congratulate Johnny and Bonnie Cates on the | ||
occasion of their 62nd wedding anniversary and extend to them | ||
sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the couple as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
Hughes | ||
