H.R. No. 2660
R E S O L U T I O N
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 House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
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 by the
Texas House of Representatives.
