  Teresa Manning
 
         WHEREAS, Family and friends are mourning the loss of Teresa
  Ann Bock Manning, who passed away on September 30, 2024, at the
  age of 92; and
         WHEREAS, The daughter of William and Kathryn Koppy Bock,
  the former Teresa Bock was born on January 31, 1932, in Roscoe,
  Minnesota, and she grew up with the companionship of three older
  siblings, Edward, Theodore, and Donna; in 1952, she married the
  love of her life, Laurence "Mick" Manning, and they went on to
  share more than five decades together; three weeks after their
  wedding, Mr. Manning was deployed to serve in the Korean War as a
  member of the U.S. Air Force; when he returned, the couple bought
  their first house in Roseville, Minnesota; they were blessed with
  six children, Mike, Dave, Bill, Kathy, Don, and John, and their
  family eventually grew to include nine grandchildren and eight
  great-grandchildren; and
         WHEREAS, When Mr. Manning was discharged from the
  military, the family moved to Fort Worth in 1967 to be closer to
  Mrs. Manning's brother, Ed; after spending two decades as a
  devoted homemaker, she enrolled in the nursing program at Harris
  Hospital, receiving her licensed vocational nurse license in
  1974 and registered nurse license in 1982; and
         WHEREAS, In their later years, Mr. and Mrs. Manning
  retired to a home on Lake Granbury, and they traveled in their
  motor home, spending summers in Minnesota with friends and
  family; following Mr. Manning's passing in 2003, Mrs. Manning
  lived with her sister, Donna, in Benbrook for many years; and
         WHEREAS, Teresa Manning led a full and generous life
  surrounded by those she loved, and they will forever carry her
  close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
