 1-1           WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at
 1-2     the tragic loss of four Burkburnett women on May 8, 2001; the
 1-3     passing of Dorothy Griffin, 62, Patricia Oliver, 66, Asline
 1-4     Hinostrosa, 59, and Virginia Bean, 71, has left their loved ones
 1-5     stunned and grieving as they seek to cope with this sudden
 1-6     bereavement; and
 1-7           WHEREAS, The four women, all members of the Burkburnett
 1-8     Assembly of God, were on an outing with other members of their
 1-9     congregation when their van was involved in an accident between
1-10     Jolly and Henrietta; and
1-11           WHEREAS, This incomprehensible event has touched many people
1-12     in this close-knit, North Texas community, drawing them together
1-13     for mutual support in a time of deep, shared sadness; even as they
1-14     mourn, however, the families and loved ones of these cherished
1-15     women rejoice in the gift of their lives, which so enriched the
1-16     world around them, and the memory of which will long live on in the
1-17     hearts of those who treasured them; now, therefore, be it
1-18           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
1-19     Legislature pay tribute to the lives of Dorothy Griffin, Patricia
1-20     Oliver, Asline Hinostrosa, and Virginia Bean and extend sincere
1-21     sympathy to the members of their families and their many friends;
1-22     and, be it further      RESOLVED, That when the Texas House of
1-23     Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Dorothy
1-24     Griffin, Patricia Oliver, Asline Hinostrosa, and Virginia Bean.
                                                                     Farabee
                                                                  Hardcastle
                                             _______________________________

               I certify that H.R. No. 1145 was unanimously adopted by a
         rising vote of the House on May 25, 2001.
