H.R. No. 197 |
|
||
WHEREAS, A 50th wedding anniversary marks a lifetime of love | ||
and shared experiences, and Pat and Jeff Charney of Denton are | ||
celebrating this special milestone in their marriage on April 25, | ||
2015; and | ||
WHEREAS, The couple began their journey as husband and wife | ||
with the exchange of their wedding vows in 1965 at a ceremony held | ||
in Littleton, Colorado; their enduring union has brought much | ||
happiness to this devoted pair, and through the years, they have | ||
shared their joy with a treasured circle of loved ones, including | ||
their children, Carolyn Jean and her partner, Lee Ann Shiver, | ||
Melinda Suzanne and her late husband, Timothy Paul Mangrum, and | ||
Fredrick James and his wife, Lori Ann Gabbert; Dr. and Mrs. Charney | ||
have also known the delight of welcoming into the family three | ||
grandchildren, Trevor Cole, Bethany Nicole, and John Mitchell | ||
Mangrum; and | ||
WHEREAS, Pat Charney had agreed to the marriage under the | ||
mistaken assumption that her future husband would fulfill his plan | ||
of becoming a forest ranger, but a different path awaited the two; | ||
Dr. Charney joined the United States Army after receiving his | ||
medical degree from the University of Colorado; following his | ||
honorable discharge at the rank of lieutenant colonel, he settled | ||
into private practice in Denton and has provided care to residents | ||
in that community for the past 35 years; meanwhile, Mrs. Charney | ||
attended five colleges in four separate states, all while balancing | ||
the demands of raising three children; nearly two decades after | ||
committing to her goal, she proudly graduated with a degree in | ||
accounting from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor; and | ||
WHEREAS, With a shared zest for adventure, Dr. and | ||
Mrs. Charney have cherished the opportunity to travel around the | ||
world; they have visited such faraway lands as Russia, Micronesia, | ||
Egypt, Greece, Panama, Bora Bora, and an assortment of Caribbean | ||
islands, yet they enjoy the peaceful confines of their 300-acre | ||
ranch outside of Bolivar, Texas, as much as any place they have | ||
been; and | ||
WHEREAS, Built on a foundation of mutual affection, faith, | ||
and trust, the Charneys' marriage has been a source of inspiration | ||
to all who know them, and it is indeed a pleasure to recognize the | ||
enduring bond of love that has united them for five decades; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Pat and Jeff Charney on their 50th | ||
wedding anniversary and extend to them warmest best wishes for | ||
continued happiness; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Dr. and Mrs. Charney as an expression of high regard | ||
by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
