Spanish ministry at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church in
Plano; together they welcomed into their family two treasured sons,
Jeffrey and Gabriel; and

role assisting the wives of men in deacon formation; leading by
example, she helped them learn how to support their husbands in
their service to the Catholic Church, inspiring many with her

others were of tremendous value to all who had the good fortune to
know her, and memories of this beloved woman will forever endure in
their hearts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
