R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Memories of a life filled with joyful times, loving 
moments, and meaningful accomplishments may comfort the family and 
friends of Pauline Rosas Gobea, who died on January 22, 2005, at the 
age of 65; and
	WHEREAS, A native Texan born on June 30, 1939, in Mosheim, 
Mrs. Gobea was an alumna of Waco High School, MCC, and 4-C College, 
and graduated from Baylor University in 1983; this exceptional 
teacher went on to a rewarding career with the Waco ISD that spanned 
three decades; she began as a teacher's aide and spent the last 15 
years in the classroom at Bell's Hill Elementary School, expecting 
much from her kindergarten charges and sending well-prepared 
students on to the challenges of the first grade; and
	WHEREAS, She married George Gobea on November 3, 1962, and 
the devoted couple shared an enduring bond of love, trust, and 
respect that was further blessed with four cherished children, four 
grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren; and
	WHEREAS, Although her tragic passing has deprived us of her 
presence, the memory of Mrs. Gobea's steadfast commitment to her 
family and her students will always lighten the hearts of those 
whose lives she touched; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay special tribute to the life of  Pauline Rosas 
Gobea and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to 
her husband, George Gobea; to her daughter, Patricia Gobea; to her 
grandchildren, Bianca, Daniel, and Deanna Tagle, and Charity 
Hernandez and her husband, Porfirio; to her great-grandchildren, 
Raymundo Delgado and Gimena Hernandez; and to the other relatives 
and many friends of this beloved woman; 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 Pauline 
Rosas Gobea.
