 1-1           WHEREAS, The passing of Brenda Ann Roberts Trudeau on October
 1-2     28, 1998, at the age of 52, has brought a great loss to the family
 1-3     and many friends of this lifelong West Texan; and
 1-4           WHEREAS, Mrs. Trudeau was born in Alpine on July 26, 1946,
 1-5     the daughter of Roy and Gwin Stillwell, and was graduated from high
 1-6     school there; after earning a degree from the University of
 1-7     Houston, she began a long and successful teaching career; and
 1-8           WHEREAS,  Throughout her years of working with students,  she
 1-9     continued to pursue her own education; she earned a master's degree
1-10     in education and was professionally certified in  secondary English
1-11     language arts as well as mid-management administration; and
1-12           WHEREAS, The dedication Mrs. Trudeau inspired in her students
1-13     and coworkers touched countless lives across the state; from her
1-14     first assignment as a substitute teacher in Mathis to her role as
1-15     principal at Presidio Franco Middle School, she made dynamic and
1-16     positive changes in Texas schools; and
1-17           WHEREAS, Though her abilities as a teacher and an
1-18     administrator and her love as a mother and wife will all be deeply
1-19     missed, her spirit will surely live on in the hearts and memories
1-20     of all who were privileged to know her, and it is indeed fitting to
1-21     honor her memory at this time; now, therefore, be it
1-22           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
1-23     Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Brenda Ann Roberts
1-24     Trudeau and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family:
 2-1     to her husband, Juan Llanez; to her children, Geromi A. Trudeau,
 2-2     Walker T.  Trudeau, and Kristin L. Calk; to her brothers, Oran Scot
 2-3     Roberts and Randy Roberts; to her sisters, Debbie Graham and Shawna
 2-4     Cross; and to her many other relatives and friends; and, be it
 2-5     further
 2-6           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 2-7     prepared for the members of her family and that when the Texas
 2-8     House of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of
 2-9     Brenda Ann Roberts Trudeau.
                                                                     Gallego
                                             _______________________________

               I certify that H.R. No. 550 was unanimously adopted by a
         rising vote of the House on April 23, 1999.
