|
|
WHEREAS, Kathy Wilburn, a fourth-generation Texan, attended |

|
|
others, the Wilburns give generously of their time and talents to |
|
|
Interfaith Ministries and the Houston Area Women's Center; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While much has changed in the world over the past 35 |
|
|
years, this devoted husband and wife have remained constant in |
|
|
their commitment to each other, and the strength of their love has |
|
|
enabled them to meet life's challenges and opportunities with grace |
|
|
and optimism; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
