WHEREAS, Tillie Wier of Garden Oaks has long brightened the |

|
lives of those who know her with her observations of the world |
|
|
around her and its many blessings; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Raised in a large family with eight siblings, |

Mrs. Wier developed her strong faith as a child, and she went on to |
|
|
teach Sunday school in her community for more than four decades; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 1987, while working for her family's paving |
|
|
contractor business, she developed a habit that has won her the |
|
|
affection and admiration of many people when she began to tuck |
|
|
stories and observations about life into the bills she was paying; |
|
|
now more than 25 years later, she continues to send out a monthly |
|
|
column to a host of grateful recipients; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Wier's granddaughter has helped to showcase |
|

this notable Texan's talents and worldview by creating a website, |

happeningsalongthewaytoheaven.com, to make the columns more widely |
|
|
available; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Whether a fellow congregant of Garden Oaks Baptist |
|
|
Church or a member of her ever-growing circle of friends, readers of |
|
|
Mrs. Wier's columns always look forward to her latest words, which |
|
|
carry with them a message of devotion and appreciation for life that |
|
|
is her hallmark; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Tillie Wier for her Happenings Along the |
|
|
Way to Heaven columns and extend to her sincere best wishes for |
|
|
continued fulfillment and joy in the years to come; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mrs. Wier as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
