WHEREAS, Patricia Thompson celebrated a joyous milestone in |
|
|
her life on October 26, 2024, when she became a naturalized citizen |
|
|
of the United States of America; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, "Trish" Thompson arrived in the U.S. from Canada as |
|
|
an employee of the Dow Chemical Company in 2006, and she soon fell |
|
|
in love with Texas and especially Brazoria County; within a few |
|
|
weeks, she had become enamored with the natural beauty and sense of |
|
|
community found on the Texas coast, and she went on to develop many |
|
|
close friendships among her new neighbors; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While in Texas, she met her future husband, Jeffery |
|
|
Thompson; the pair exchanged wedding vows in 2012, and she has |
|
|
happily embraced her role as a stepmother to his two daughters; in |
|
|
2018, she accepted a position with MEGlobal, which allowed her to |
|
|
support the company's operations in both Canada and the United |
|
|
States, her adopted country; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Thompson began the process of applying for U.S. |
|
|
citizenship in 2023 and completed her civics test on September 20, |
|
|
2024, just five days before her birthday; she became a naturalized |
|
|
citizen on October 26 of that year, and she is being recognized for |
|
|
this achievement on the occasion of Brazoria County Day at the State |
|
|
Capitol on February 25, 2025; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A proud Texan by choice, Trish Thompson has made a |
|
|
new life for herself as an American citizen and a valued member of |
|
|
the Brazoria County community, and it is a pleasure to join in |
|
|
honoring her for all that she has accomplished; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|

|
|

|
|
years to come; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mrs. Thompson as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
