R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Select members of the Texas House of Representatives 
wish to recognize, commend, and castigate Diedre Loretta "Boo" 
Douglas on the occasion of her surviving the 78th Legislative 
Session; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout the history of this nation, in times of 
great peril and need, the men and women of Texas have served bravely 
in legislative battle; and
	WHEREAS, Impelled by a genuine desire to serve her fellow 
citizens and possessing an instinct for finding solutions, Ms. 
Douglas has been known to engage in suspicious activity in the 
E2.300 hallway; and
	WHEREAS, In addition to her efforts in the political arena 
and in public service, Ms. Douglas has regularly disregarded 
genuine advice for her future provided by men of great knowledge; 
she has consistently failed to heed the sage words of these learned 
gentlemen with respect to jettisoning her male companion of 
questionable moral standards; and
	WHEREAS, Although her accomplishments in office volleyball 
far outstrip her ability to analyze legislation and she has proven 
unable to find TLIS on her computer, she does have the redeeming 
ability to flawlessly surf the Internet to locate the menu of any 
restaurant within a 100-mile radius; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout her life, Boo Douglas demonstrated an 
unyielding determination to correct society's injustices; her 
dedication and compassion, together with her cheerful nature and 
legendary sense of humor, earned her the lasting respect and 
affection of countless friends and community residents, and her 
spirit will forever brighten and warm their hearts; now, therefore, 
be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay special tribute to the life of Diedre 
Loretta "Boo" Douglas and extend sincere sympathy to her coworkers 
and mentors; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Ms. Douglas as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives, or at least some of them.
