R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Andrea Ellen McKnight of 
Sherman on June 29, 2005, at the age of 46, brought a profoundly 
felt loss to her family and many friends; and
	WHEREAS, Born to Andrew and Nancy Hunger in Refugio on March 
27, 1959, Mrs. McKnight attended Stephen F. Austin University, 
where she earned a bachelor's degree in television and radio 
communications and journalism; she served as the district office 
manager for U.S. Congressman Charles Wilson in Lufkin and later as 
the assistant public relations director at Wadley Regional Medical 
Center in Texarkana; and
	WHEREAS, She married Irby McKnight in 1980, and this devoted 
couple shared 24 years of happiness together as well as a deep 
religious conviction and a desire to share their faith with others; 
they served as youth ministers at the Northside Assembly of God in 
Texarkana and as associate pastors at Christian Life Cathedral in 
Dallas; in 1991, they moved to Sherman to become pastors of Harvest 
Time Assembly of God Church, and Mrs. McKnight drew immense joy from 
watching the church grow in strength during her 14 years of 
dedicated service there; and
	WHEREAS, Although her life ended far too soon, Andrea 
McKnight will long be remembered for her kindness and warmth and for 
the spiritual guidance that she so generously offered to all those 
fortunate enough to have known her; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of 
Andrea Ellen McKnight and extend deepest sympathy to the members of 
her family: to her husband of 24 years, Irby McKnight; to her 
children, Jordan Andrew and Erin Kathleen McKnight; to her parents, 
Andrew and Nancy Hunger; to her brother, Drew Hunger, and his wife, 
Tracie; to her nephews, Stratton and Callen Hunger; and to her other 
relatives and 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 Andrea 
McKnight.

                                                                        Phillips
