 1-4     Life honoree; and

1-12     chose to count her blessings, which include her "guardian angel,"

1-19     determination, optimism, and perseverance in facing adversity, and
1-20     she serves as an inspiration to all those who are privileged to
1-21     know her; now, therefore, be it
1-22           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
1-23     Legislature hereby congratulate Mrs. DelBosque on her selection as
1-24     an American Cancer Society Relay for Life honoree and extend to her
