R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Dallas community lost a kindred spirit with the 
passing of Dorothy Rose on July 7, 2005, at the age of 88; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Rose was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, 
great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother whose unwavering 
faith in God, family, and community was known by all who had the 
pleasure to interact with this special lady; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Rose was a longtime member of the True Purpose 
Missionary Baptist Church, and worked with Reverend James Parker of 
that institution for the betterment of the congregation and of the 
community at large; when Mrs. Rose's health did not permit her to 
attend, she was delighted to have Reverend William Everett, of the 
Cathedral of Praise Bible Church, as a regular visitor to her home 
to minister to her on an individual basis; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Rose was preceded in death by her husband, 
Homer Rose, Sr., and by one son, Roger Rose, and she leaves behind 
her other two sons, Charles Rose (Justice of the Peace) and Horace 
Rose, as well as a daughter, Jo Anne Rose Bell; and
	WHEREAS, The passing of this wonderful woman has left a 
painful void in the community, but comfort is taken in the 
understanding that she has gone to a far better place; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the State of 
Texas, 79th Legislature, 1st Called Session, 2005, hereby pay 
tribute to the illustrious life of Dorothy Rose and extend sincere 
condolences to her family and many friends, and that when the Texas 
House of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of 
Dorothy Rose.
