reflect with joy on the rewarding relationship they have shared;
and
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Nuez met in 1949 at a festival in
Tahoka, when Mr. Nuez asked his future wife to dance; after a

grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren to their family; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Nuez drove a bus for the Houston Independent
School District and was a beautician; Mr. Nuez was a U.S. Navy Seal
during World War II and retired after three decades of employment
with the City of Houston; the couple volunteer with their church and
community and take pleasure in camping, taking walks in the park,
and traveling; and
WHEREAS, The 58 years of marriage that Mr. and Mrs. Nuez 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 81st Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Fidel and Manuela Nuez on their
58th wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes for
continued happiness; and, be it further
