H.R. No. 756



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Those Texans who live for a century or longer are among 
the Lone Star State's most valuable resources, and their wisdom and 
experience immeasurably enrich the lives of their fellow citizens; 
and
	WHEREAS, Porfiria Villanueva is one such individual, and she 
was honored at the 9th Annual Centenarian Program held at the Marble 
Arch in Mercedes, an event that was organized by the Social Security 
Administration and the Area Agency on Aging; and
	WHEREAS, Born September 15, 1906, in Monterrey, Mexico, Mrs. 
Villanueva married Bascilio Villanueva in 1928 in Laredo, and they 
were the parents of nine children; over the years, Mrs. Villanueva 
especially enjoyed traveling and shared in the joy of welcoming 26 
grandchildren and two great-grandchildren into her family; and
	WHEREAS, In celebrating men and women whose lives span 100 years 
or more, we pay tribute to an inspiring group of senior citizens and 
their vital connection to our shared history; now, therefore, be it
