WHEREAS, July 20, 2017, marks the 60th wedding anniversary of | ||
T. C. and Mary Jo Ellard, and this joyous event provides a fitting | ||
opportunity to reflect on their rewarding journey together as | ||
husband and wife; and | ||
WHEREAS, Members of the Class of 1957 at Crozier Technical | ||
High School in Dal1as, Mr. and Mrs. Ellard were high school | ||
sweethearts who exchanged the vows of matrimony the summer | ||
following their graduation; over the years, they have been blessed | ||
with a treasured family that includes their five children, Richard, | ||
Jeff, Andy, Todd, and Angela, as well as their 11 grandchildren, | ||
Elaine, Lindsey, Emily, Nicole, Zak, Manda, Ty, Amy, Abigail, Joe, | ||
and Luke; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Ellards have been valued residents of the | ||
Coppell community for the past 26 years, after living in Dallas for | ||
a decade and in Irving for nearly a quarter century; Mr. Ellard | ||
worked as a machinist, managing the Manda Machine Company, which he | ||
and his wife bought from her parents in 1982 and sold to their sons | ||
Richard, Andy, and Todd in 2002; Mrs. Ellard has devoted herself to | ||
her home and family throughout their marriage, and along with her | ||
husband, she is a greeter at St. Ann Catholic Church; in her spare | ||
time, she enjoys shopping for her grandchildren, and Mr. Ellard can | ||
often be found on the golf course; and | ||
WHEREAS, The six decades of marriage that Mr. and Mrs. Ellard | ||
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 T. C. and Mary Jo Ellard on their | ||
60th 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 the couple as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. |
