	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, A full and generous life drew to a close with the
	passing of Edna Nell Burch Black on December 31, 2018, at the age of
	90; and
	WHEREAS, The daughter of Georgia Winifred Cavender and Harry
	Louis Burch, the former Eddie Burch was born in Miami, Arizona, on
	July 24, 1928; her parents died when she was young, and she was then
	raised by her grandmother, Edna Hobbs Cavender; she and her sister,
	Lorraine, grew up in the Hill Country town of Rio Frio with their
	cousin, Edna; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Black later moved to El Paso, where she met the
	love of her life, Jack Jennings Black; they married and became the
	proud parents of five children, Winifred, Jackie, Roy, Joyce, and
	Iris, and Mrs. Black devoted herself to her family and their home in
	the lower valley of El Paso; well-suited to the role of rancher's
	wife, she was an excellent horsewoman and faced the challenges of
	rural life with grace and strength; she and Mr. Black shared nearly
	five decades of marriage, and following his death in 1995, she
	settled in Keller to be with her daughters; and
	WHEREAS, With the passing years, Mrs. Black knew the joy of
	welcoming into her treasured family 20 grandchildren, Jack, Jim,
	Richard, Kira, Cameron, Carrie, Cristi, Chris, Patrick, Jessie,
	Jared, Royce, Jack, Jami, Danny, Tamara, Jerimy, Leah, Scott, and
	Todd, as well as 38 great-grandchildren and 7
	great-great-grandchildren; and
	WHEREAS, Although Eddie Black is deeply missed, those who
	held her dear will forever remember the kindness and love she
	brought into their lives; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Edna Nell Burch Black
	and extend sincere sympathy to her loved ones; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
	Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Edna Nell
	Burch Black.
