SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 910
|
|
WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed |
|
cause for celebration, and Laura Bennett of Plano is marking this |
|
momentous milestone in her life on May 20, 2015, to the delight of |
|
her many loved ones; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born in 1915, Laura Bennett was raised with her |
|
two brothers and two sisters, to whom she was devoted; she was |
|
employed as a waitress, and later she and her husband became the |
|
owners of a restaurant; although she worked long hours, she |
|
always made time for her treasured family; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Bennett assisted her sisters and |
|
sisters-in-law with their households when their babies were |
|
born, and as her 20 nieces and nephews grew up, she was ever ready |
|
to share her time or provide them with funds; caring and |
|
generous, she gladly opened her home to anyone who needed a place |
|
to stay, whether for a night or a year, and she ensured that |
|
nobody went hungry, even when her resources were limited; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, "Aunt Laura" is the cherished matriarch of |
|
a large extended family, and the younger generations continue to |
|
look to her as a tremendous source of wisdom, love, and |
|
inspiration as she joins the elite ranks of those who can reflect |
|
on 100 years of life well lived; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
Legislature, hereby congratulate Laura Bennett on the occasion |
|
of her 100th birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes for |
|
continued happiness and good fortune; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, Than an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
prepared for Mrs. Bennett as an expression of high regard from |
|
the Texas Senate. |
