R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A full and generous life came to an end with the 
passing of Gardner Golston Osborn of Bryan on April 8, 2005, at the 
age of 72; and
	WHEREAS, Born January 25, 1933, in Tyler, Mrs. Osborn was a 
founder and dedicated advocate of the Brazos Valley Prenatal 
Clinic, which opened in 1985 to serve low-income pregnant women; 
she was known as the "mother of the clinic" as a result of her 
commitment to the nonprofit facility and her tireless efforts to 
enlist the help of area nurses and physicians; and
	WHEREAS, In 1991, Mrs. Osborn and the clinic's staff were 
honored by President George H. W. Bush as one of the Thousand Points 
of Light; committed to family, she and her beloved husband, Bill, 
were named Parents of the Year by Texas A&M University; and
	WHEREAS, Truly an inspiration to all who knew of her, Gardner 
Golston Osborn will be deeply missed, but she leaves a legacy of 
determination and service that will continue to benefit her 
communities for years to come; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Gardner Golston 
Osborn and extend deepest sympathy to the members of her family: to 
her husband, Bill Osborn; to her daughters, Maury Meyer and her 
husband, Tom, Cindy Parker and her husband, Dale, Chris Travelstead 
and her husband, DeWayne, and Gardner Carlisle and her husband, 
Larry; to her son, Bill Osborn; to her eight grandchildren; 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 Gardner 
Golston Osborn.
