H.R. No. 97
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Walker Yates of Frisco is marking a special
milestone in his life on August 18, 2013, when he celebrates his
very first birthday; and
WHEREAS, The adorable son of Jeff and Stephanie Yates, Walker
was born prematurely at just 28 weeks and faced serious
complications; fortunate to receive the care of a skilled medical
team at Presbyterian Hospital of Plano, Walker and his mother were
also supported by a devoted circle of family, friends, coworkers,
and clergy, who offered heartfelt prayers for their strength and
survival; and
WHEREAS, After 74 days in the neonatal intensive care unit,
Walker was released from the hospital, beginning an exciting new
chapter for the Yates family; Walker has since experienced
remarkable growth and change, and watching him discover the many
wonders around him has become a favorite pastime of his loved ones;
and
WHEREAS, While the birth of a child is always a miraculous
event, Walker's early arrival and precarious first weeks made his
journey especially extraordinary, and it is indeed a pleasure to
honor him on this joyous occasion; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Walker Yates
on his first birthday and extend to him sincere best wishes for a
bright and promising future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Yates family as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
