    1-2  Merle Franklyn on her exemplary record of service to the
    1-3  legislative community as an aide to State Representative Ron
    1-4  Wilson; and
    1-5        WHEREAS, The business of state government during a
    1-6  legislative session is a difficult, demanding, and time-consuming
    1-7  endeavor that means long hours and requires extraordinary patience
    1-8  not only from those directly engaged in lawmaking, but also from
    1-9  those dedicated staff members who work tirelessly in vital support
   1-10  roles behind the scenes; and
   1-11        WHEREAS, Giving generously of her time and energy as a member
   1-12  of Representative Wilson's staff for the past seven years,

   1-15        WHEREAS, Her devotion and exceptional diligence in this
   1-16  regard have enabled Representative Wilson to attend to matters

   1-19  trusted professional; and
   1-20        WHEREAS, Ms. Franklyn has gained the respect and admiration
   1-21  of her colleagues in the legislative community, and she now is
   1-22  looking forward to new opportunities and other challenges as she
   1-23  prepares to move on into the corporate world of Atlanta; and
   1-24        WHEREAS, Although the best wishes for a happy and bright
    2-1  future she receives from Representative Wilson and the other
    2-2  members of his staff are tinged with sadness at her departure, she
    2-3  leaves knowing that she has made lasting friendships and that she
    2-4  has contributed greatly to the achievements of this legislative
    2-5  body; now, therefore, be it
    2-6        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
