H.C.R. No. 108
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, An inspiring couple whose lives have been enhanced
by a great and enduring love, Kevin and Linda Hirt of St. Lawrence
celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on January 17, 2012; and
WHEREAS, Kevin Hirt and the former Linda Newman met while
attending Sul Ross State University in Alpine; they were united in
matrimony at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Garden City in 1987,
and the wedding day was filled with surprises, as a massive ice
storm engulfed the region and the bride was sprayed by a skunk;
following their nuptials, the couple went on to build their home in
a cotton field and to establish a successful cotton farming
enterprise; and
WHEREAS, Respected members of their community, Mr. and Mrs.
Hirt have remained valued members of St. Lawrence Catholic Church,
and they have served on numerous church boards and organizations
and assisted with parish fund-raisers; in addition, they have been
active in school groups, helped with FFA shows, and coached Little
League teams; Mrs. Hirt's involvement in the local community has
also included volunteering as a Girl Scout leader and a YMCA
basketball coach, while Mr. Hirt has served as a member of the
Glasscock County School Board, the Cotton Growers Board, and the
Knights of Columbus; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, their family has grown to include
three daughters, Julie Dawn Hirt Spittler, Melissa Gayle Hirt, and
Rachel Elizabeth Hirt, as well as a granddaughter, Avery Elizabeth
Spittler, and a son-in-law, "Trey" Spittler; and
WHEREAS, While innumerable changes have taken place in the
world during the past 25 years, this devoted husband and wife have
remained constant in their commitment to each other, and the
strength of their love has enabled them to meet life's challenges
and opportunities with grace and optimism; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby congratulate Kevin and Linda Hirt on their 25th wedding
anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued
happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Hirt as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
