The Bates Family

The Bates are richly blessed to have the “Fab Five,” Dan, Shelli, Whitney, Faith and Danny, double into the “Terrific Ten.” Whitney married the Honorable Dax Johnson and they are in grandparents-in-training with Dax II, the favorite grandson. Faith married Dr. Joe Pallone and they are in grandparent pledge ship with Gianna Bella and Gabriella Grace, the granddaughters of “Pops” and “Boogie.” Danny will no doubt carry on the Bates family name in due time.
Dan has lawyered for food with Decker Jones for forty years while Shelli has worked at Lockheed Martin since raising their kids. Whitney provides children speech therapy with her Masters in Speech Pathology. Dax works at Apex Capital taking it to new levels of success. A Registered Nurse, Faith takes good care of her patients while Dr. Joe teaches medical residents in obstetrics and gynecology. Danny is an actor and musician living Austin while the rest of the family live in greater Fort Worth.
Except the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain that build it. The Bates have faith in their Builder.
