|
Tori; eventually, her family grew to include two beloved |
|
|
granddaughters, Mackenzie and Onora; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Dr. Probe's deep compassion and gift for connection |
|
|
led her to pursue a career as an internist, and she and her husband |
|
|
both joined a Scott & White medical group; devoted to her patients, |
|
|
she was firm in delivering health recommendations, but her kindness |
|
|
and unstinting encouragement earned their great affection as well |
|
|

|
|
Texas Monthly magazine's "Best Physicians" over the course of 28 |
|
|
years in practice; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Dedicated to her community, Dr. Probe served on the |
|
|
board of the Temple Symphony Orchestra, and her fundraising prowess |
|
|

|
|
further gave of her time and talents to the Methodist Church, the |
|
|
American Heart Association, the Ralph Wilson Youth Club, and the |
|
|
Temple Children's Museum; in addition, she was a supporter of the |
|
|
Crested Butte Conservation Corps; she found a lovely property in |
|
|
Crested Butte, Colorado, which she enjoyed sharing with family and |
|
|
friends; her antique-filled home reflected her appreciation for |
|
|
beauty as well; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Following her diagnosis with glioblastoma in 2018, |
|
|
Dr. Probe bravely endured difficult surgeries and other treatment |
|
|
in order to extend her time with loved ones, and she continued to be |
|
|
a source of wisdom and comfort to all who knew her; although her |
|
|
passing brought them great sorrow, her life stands as an inspiring |
|
|
example of the good that one person can accomplish; now, therefore, |
|
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|

|
|
