H.R. No. 1262
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Inspired by their daughter's love for others, Chaney
  and Jessica Phillips have established B.I.G. (Brooke's Incredible
  Gift) Love Cancer Care Services to carry on the compassionate love
  that Brooke Alyson Phillips had for all people; and
         WHEREAS, Brooke was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia
  when she was three years old and, for two years, she fought
  courageously through intense chemotherapy and a bone marrow
  transplant at Texas Children's Hospital; her parents understand
  firsthand the heavy burdens families must endure while their
  children are fighting a life-threatening disease and hope to see
  B.I.G. Love Cancer Care Services provide assistance for these
  families; and
         WHEREAS, With the passing of their five-year-old daughter on
  September 29, 2006, they chose to honor her memory by establishing
  this organization, named B.I.G. because Brooke taught them how
  wide, long, high, and deep love could be; and
         WHEREAS, B.I.G. Love Cancer Care Services was approved as a
  nonprofit organization in March 2007 with a mission to not only meet
  some of the basic needs of cancer kids and their families, but also
  to provide opportunities for laughter, happiness, and comfort; and
         WHEREAS, Already these brave parents have been actively
  working to make life better for cancer patients and their families
  at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston and Arkansas Children's
  Hospital in Little Rock; they delivered treats at Thanksgiving and
  180 big-hearted baskets full of toys, games, and goodies on
  Valentine's Day, with help from family, friends, and concerned
  children and teachers at Angleton Middle School; and
         WHEREAS, They are now focusing on meeting practical needs for
  these families, such as parking passes and meals, and on providing
  special gift baskets for holidays, including Mother's Day and
  Father's Day; their long-range goals include hosting retreats for
  parents after the loss of a child, publishing literature to
  encourage and help families throughout their journeys, and
  advancing childhood cancer awareness and research; they also plan
  to express appreciation and encouragement to the pediatric oncology
  nurses and doctors who work with these children and families
  throughout the years; and
         WHEREAS, Brooke Alyson Phillips cared deeply about the cancer
  kids around her, praying for them and bringing them gifts when they
  were sad, and this organization truly embodies the spirit of this
  remarkable child; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
  Legislature hereby commend Chaney and Jessica Phillips for their
  compassionate endeavor and extend to them sincere best wishes for
  the success of B.I.G. Love Cancer Care Services; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Phillips as an expression of high regard
  by the Texas House of Representatives.
