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.
Taylor of Collin
