H.R. No. 497
R E S O L U T I O N
1-1 WHEREAS, The business of state government during a
1-2 legislative session is a difficult, demanding, and time-consuming
1-3 endeavor that means long hours and requires extraordinary patience,
1-4 not only from those directly engaged in lawmaking, but also from
1-5 spouses and families who must endure the prolonged absences of
1-6 their loved ones; and
1-7 WHEREAS, Stephanie Gant-Nieto has demonstrated exemplary
1-8 patience and perseverance in maintaining both a career and a busy
1-9 household while her husband has been fully occupied by the pressing
1-10 demands facing the Texas Legislature; and
1-11 WHEREAS, Her devotion has enabled her husband to attend to
1-12 matters before this chamber with the utmost dedication, free of
1-13 distracting worry and anxiety and secure in the knowledge that the
1-14 home front is in the extremely capable hands of his loving and
1-15 supportive spouse; and
1-16 WHEREAS, With a total of four children, Kira, Kevin, Kayla,
1-17 and energetic one-year-old Kaleb, to care for, Mrs. Gant-Nieto has
1-18 had ample opportunity to exercise the household management skills,
1-19 the loving guidance and support, and the warm nurturing that keep
1-20 the family together as one, happy in both body and spirit; and
1-21 WHEREAS, Her success in balancing all of the needs and
1-22 demands of a full-size family, which is a difficult feat in the
1-23 best of circumstances, is made even more remarkable by the fact
1-24 that she combines her roles as wife and mother with an equally
2-1 challenging role as a professional businesswoman by managing a home
2-2 health care office at the same time; and
2-3 WHEREAS, In this regard, Mrs. Gant-Nieto has set a sterling
2-4 example of selflessness, efficiency, and abiding concern for the
2-5 well-being of others that serves to inspire not only her husband
2-6 but all of us engaged in the conduct of state affairs; it is the
2-7 desire, then, of all the members of this body to join our colleague
2-8 State Representative Pedro Nieto in recognizing Mrs. Gant-Nieto and
2-9 to express our appreciation for her unwavering support during this
2-10 legislative session; now, therefore, be it
2-11 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
2-12 Legislature hereby honor Stephanie Gant-Nieto on her exceptional
2-13 devotion and patience, which in an important way have contributed
2-14 to the governance of this state during the current legislative
2-15 session; and, be it further
2-16 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
2-17 prepared for Mrs. Gant-Nieto as an expression of the high esteem in
2-18 which she is held by her husband's colleagues in the Texas House of
2-19 Representatives.
