R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The certain knowledge of a life well lived tempers 
the profound sadness the passing of Lenora Dorsett brings to all who 
loved this esteemed Texan, who passed away on February 28, 2005, at 
the age of 68; and
	WHEREAS,  Mrs. Dorsett and her husband, Tim, owned and 
operated the Dorsett 221 Truck Stop, and built the business into one 
of the finest in Texas; in addition, they owned Dorsett Ditching, 
Inc., and brought water to many communities that otherwise would 
not have had it; and
	WHEREAS, A woman who was as generous as she was successful, 
Mrs. Dorsett, together with her husband, brightened the lives of 
children in the area by providing the financial support needed to 
ensure that they received Christmas presents and turkeys during the 
holidays; the Dorsetts were also enthusiastic supporters of the 
Hays County and Travis County Livestock Show auctions, where they 
often purchased livestock from participating young people; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Dorsett will be remembered by family and 
friends for her sweet personality and charitable nature, and her 
spirit will long endure in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Lenora Dorsett and 
extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family:  to her 
children, Ronnie, Dennis, Linda, Larry, and Patrick Dorsett, and 
their spouses; to her grandchildren, Timothy, Skip, Justin, Andy, 
Sterling, Blake, Kimberly, Travis, Bridget, Ashley, and Ethan 
Dorsett, Brandon and Kristine Keily, Katherine Rayas, and Mitchel, 
Michael, and Jasmine Cantrell; to her nine great-grandchildren; to 
her brothers, Billy and Jimmy Carnline; and to her other relatives 
and 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 Lenora 
Dorsett.
