|
Dianne Haisten, Mickey Haisten grew up with the companionship of |

his brother, Keith, and his sister, Kay; in 1978, he was joined in |
|
matrimony to the former Betty Gail Pope, and the couple shared a |

years, his treasured family grew to include his two sons, Matt |
|
and Justin, and his three grandchildren; and |

|
a firefighter for the City of Alba Volunteer Fire Department; he |
|

|
of the Grand Saline Church of Christ; and |
|
WHEREAS, Devoted to his family, his faith, and his |
|
community, Mickey Haisten lived a rich and purposeful life, and |
|
although his journey on this earth ended far too soon, he leaves |
|
behind a record of service that his loved ones can remember with |
|
pride; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
