H.R. No. 2660

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed
	cause for celebration, and Laura Bennett of Plano is marking this
	momentous milestone in her life on May 20, 2015, to the delight of
	her many loved ones; and
	WHEREAS, Born in 1915, Laura Bennett was raised with her two
	brothers and two sisters, to whom she was devoted; she was employed
	as a waitress, and later she and her husband became the owners of a
	restaurant; although she worked long hours, she always made time
	for her treasured family; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Bennett assisted her sisters and
	sisters-in-law with their households when their babies were born,
	and as her 20 nieces and nephews grew up, she was ever ready to share
	her time or provide them with funds; caring and generous, she gladly
	opened her home to anyone who needed a place to stay, whether for a
	night or a year, and she ensured that nobody went hungry, even when
	her resources were limited; and
	WHEREAS, Today, "Aunt Laura" is the cherished matriarch of a
	large extended family, and the younger generations continue to look
	to her as a tremendous source of wisdom, love, and inspiration as
	she joins the elite ranks of those who can reflect on 100 years of
	life well lived; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Laura Bennett on the occasion of
	her 100th birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes for
	continued happiness and good fortune; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, Than an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mrs. Bennett as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
	Leach
