SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 5
WHEREAS, Carolyn Burton Propes and her husband, William
Harry Propes will celebrate the memorable occasion of their 50th
wedding anniversary on September 2, 2011; and
WHEREAS, Carolyn Burton, born in Carlisle, Texas, and
William Propes, born in Kilgore, Texas, were united in matrimony
at Carlisle Baptist Church on a hot, humid day in 1961; through
the years they have nurtured a fulfilling marriage, and today
they take justifiable pride in their fine family, which includes
two sons, Barry and Jay Propes, and three glorious grandchildren,
Alexandra, Walker, and William Propes; and
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Propes are long-standing, respected
members of the Tyler and Dallas communities; Mrs. Propes is an
accountant who has worked for financial institutions, currently
works at Guidestone Finance, and is very active in her church as a
member of the Park Cities Baptist choir; Mr. Propes is a safety
engineer with Anchor Risk Management Services and also lends his
voice to the Park Cities Baptist choir; and
WHEREAS, A golden wedding anniversary is a celebration of
love that has stood the test of time; in the case of Carolyn and
William Propes, this test has included the challenges of multiple
moves, from East Texas to Fort Sam Houston, Abilene,
fortieth-anniversary
vacation to Hawaii in September of 2001, when traveling was a
challenge; and
WHEREAS, This pair, however, has found the key to making it
work; Carolyn and William Propes have now shared a richly
rewarding five decades together, and the future looks certain to
be infused with the same love, wisdom, and joy that have brought
them to this wonderful milestone; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Carolyn and
William Propes on their golden 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
Deuell
