American Revolution; and | ||

deeply committed to her Lord and | ||
Savior Jesus Christ; she was actively involved in church activities | ||
as a member of the New Boston Church of Christ; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mrs. Tuck was supportive of the work of her | ||
husband's longtime welding business and together they devoted | ||
themselves to the youth of New Boston regardless of background, and | ||
through their love for helping others, mentored many young people | ||
and adults; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although Helen Tuck is deeply missed, cherished | ||
memories of time spent in her company will long endure in the hearts | ||
of her beloved family and numerous friends; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
