R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, A full and generous life came to an end with the
passing of Herminia Galindo of Del Rio on September 12, 2007, at the
age of 76; and
WHEREAS, The former Herminia Rizo was born to Manuel and
Margarita Rizo on February 14, 1931, in Del Rio; she married her
childhood sweetheart, Conrado Galindo, Jr., in 1945, and the couple
had the pleasure of welcoming 3 children, 10 grandchildren, and 14
great-grandchildren into the family during their 62 years together;
and
WHEREAS, Known to her friends as Minnie, Mrs. Galindo loved
shopping and traveling with her family, and she delighted in
entertaining her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and sharing
with them her stories and wisdom; she was also a talented and
prolific chef, and her dishes brought satisfied smiles to the faces
of anyone fortunate enough to attend a gathering at the Galindo
household; and
WHEREAS, Minnie Galindo was a compassionate individual who
stayed by her husband's side day and night when he required her
assistance and remained constant in that service for 11 years; this
was but one example of the loving care she provided to her family
through the decades, and she will forever be remembered with great
affection by her wide circle of loved ones; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st
Texas Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Herminia
Galindo and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to
her children, Conrado Galindo III and his wife, Joanne, Richard
Galindo and his wife, Marta, and Manuel Galindo and his wife,
Margaret; to her 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren; to
her brothers-in-law, Arturo Ramirez, Sr., and Melchor Galindo and
his wife, Gloria; and to her other relatives and friends; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Herminia
Galindo.
