|
||
WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed a | ||
special occasion, and Helen Rebecca Mann of San Angelo is | ||
celebrating this joyous milestone in her life on May 17, 2013; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in 1913, Mrs. Mann was raised in a house with a | ||
dirt floor and a sod roof, and she traveled in a mule-drawn wagon as | ||
a child; after she married Fred Mann, she learned to drive a car | ||
that he built out of assorted parts from other automobiles; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. Mann worked as a waitress while her husband was | ||
serving overseas during World War II; a devoted mother, she raised | ||
six children, Fred, L. H., Margie, Doris, James, and Jerry, and no | ||
matter how hectic the household might have been, she always kept her | ||
sense of humor; with the passing of the years, Mrs. Mann welcomed 30 | ||
grandchildren into the family, and today she has numerous | ||
great-grandchildren as well; and | ||
WHEREAS, This esteemed Texan visited Disneyland on her 80th | ||
birthday and traveled to Las Vegas on her 85th; she continues to | ||
enjoy life's daily pleasures, and she regularly has bacon, eggs, | ||
and coffee for breakfast and dines on chicken-fried steak whenever | ||
she can; and | ||
WHEREAS, The resilience and wisdom of centenarians are a | ||
source of enduring inspiration, and it is indeed a pleasure to honor | ||
Helen Mann for having joined an elite group of Texans who can claim | ||
100 years of meaningful achievements and wonderful memories; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Helen Rebecca Mann on the occasion | ||
of her 100th birthday and extend to her sincere best wishes for | ||
continued happiness; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mrs. Mann as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
