H.R. No. 1309


R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Byron Beethe of Longview is an inspiring young man who has accomplished much in his life thus far; and WHEREAS, A 2001 graduate of Pine Tree High School, Mr. Beethe is a student at Tyler Junior College and a member of Moberly Baptist Church in Longview; adept with computers, he enjoys helping people with their web pages, and he is also a great cook; and WHEREAS, Beloved by his family, which includes his parents, Bernie and Cindy Beethe, his grandparents, Alonzo and Delilah Beethe, and his sister, Bethany, Mr. Beethe has left the comfort of East Texas behind him in the past to reside in Kuantan, Malaysia, for two years, but he returned to Texas as quickly as he could, no doubt reporting to the nearest Mexican food restaurant as soon as possible following his arrival home; and WHEREAS, While Mr. Beethe has had more than his fair share of challenges thrown his way, this remarkable young man has stayed focused on his goals and moved ever forward, and he has earned the lasting respect and friendship of a great many people; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas Legislature hereby commend Byron Beethe and extend to him warmest best wishes for all the good fortune he so richly deserves as he battles cancer at M. D. Anderson Hospital; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Mr. Beethe as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
