H.R. No. 1169
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The tragic passing of Michelle Lynn Rothwell of
Houston on May 3, 2003, at the age of 31, has brought a great loss to
the many friends and relatives of this lovely young woman; and
WHEREAS, A native Texan, she was born in Beaumont on October
20, 1971, and was blessed with a friendly, outgoing manner that
earned her a host of friends throughout her lifetime; devoted to her
husband, Scott, the couple shared a fulfilling and lasting union;
and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Rothwell's winning smile served her well as
manager of Chandail Needleworks; with a passion for needlepoint
design, this talented young woman established her own business,
Doodles Boxes, which specialized in the design and construction of
needlepoint boxes, and she took great pleasure in crafting gifts
for her loved ones; and
WHEREAS, Those who were close to Mrs. Rothwell could not help
but be affected by her outgoing and energetic spirit; she treasured
the antique shopping sprees she took with her grandmother
throughout the small towns of East Texas and spent many happy hours
dove hunting, gardening, and volunteering with the Pink Ribbons
Project; and
WHEREAS, Michelle Rothwell was a cherished member of her
community whose presence brightened the lives of her family and
friends; though she will be deeply mourned, her memory will
continue to live on in the hearts of all who were privileged to know
her during her years on this earth; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature hereby honor the life of Michelle Lynn Rothwell and
extend sincere sympathy to her family: to her husband, Scott B.
Rothwell; to her father, Ted L. Roblow; to her sister, Denise
Batschauer; to her brother, Brian K. Roblow; to her grandmother,
Lola W. Bankston; and to her many friends; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Michelle
Lynn Rothwell.
