In Memory

of

Mildred A. May


	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins the 
citizens of San Antonio and the Texas A&M University community 
in mourning the loss of Mildred A. May, who died April 8, 2003, 
at the age of 84; and

	WHEREAS, Born December 10, 1918, in Waco, Mildred was a 
proud graduate of Waco High School; she was an active member 
of the San Antonio A&M Mothers' Club, and had served as the 
organization's president; she was also past president of the 
Federation of A&M University Mothers' Clubs; she was preceded 
in death by her husband, Lieutenant Colonel Fred May, Jr.; and

	WHEREAS, Known as "the penultimate Aggie Mom," Mildred 
joined the San Antonio A&M Mothers' Club when her oldest son 
began attending the university in 1964, and she never stopped 
being involved; she became the university's Singing Cadets' 
biggest booster in San Antonio, and she was named an Honorary 
Singing Cadet; for 39 years, she sponsored the all-male chorus' 
annual spring concert in San Antonio; and

	WHEREAS, This year, after finding that Mrs. May was unable 
to attend the group's most recent concert, the cadets met her 
in Aggie Park and serenaded her; through raising funds for 
scholarships, she had made it possible for many students to 
attend Texas A&M University; and

	WHEREAS, Mrs. May was a 50-year member of the Order of the 
Eastern Star, Bexar Chapter, and a past Worthy Matron; and

	WHEREAS, A woman of integrity, strength, and generosity, 
she gave unselfishly of her time to others, and her wisdom, 
warmth, and valued counsel will not be forgotten by those who 
knew her; and

	WHEREAS, Mildred May was a devoted mother and grandmother 
and "Mom" to many young people, and she leaves behind memories 
that will be treasured forever by her family, her extended 
family, and her many friends; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
78th Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the 
bereaved family of Mildred A. May:  her sons and daughter-in-law, 
Colonel Fred May and Pat and Herbert May; her grandchildren,

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
the members of her family as an expression of deepest sympathy 
from the Texas Senate, and that when the Senate adjourns this 
day, it do so in memory of Mildred A. May.
                                                                       Wentworth
