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, Herminia Rodriguez 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 April 28, 1905, in San Francisco, Tamaulipas, 
Mexico, to Florencio Rodriguez and Nieves Gutierrez, Mrs. Rodriguez

shared in the joy of welcoming 18 grandchildren, 21 
great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild into her 
family; Mrs. Rodriguez has dedicated herself to her home and family 
and loves to make paper roses and crochet; 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
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
