	H.R. No. 434



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Laura Waller has selflessly benefited the Family
	Abuse Center in Waco over the course of two decades, and it is
	indeed appropriate to recognize her for her contributions; and
	WHEREAS, After visiting the shelter with a friend, Ms. Waller
	felt great empathy for the little ones there, and she wanted to find
	a way to help; she volunteered her skills as a seamstress and began
	making beautiful clothing for the smaller youngsters, both
	fulfilling a basic need for growing children and letting them know
	she cared about them; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Waller endeavored to sew one dress a week, and
	it is estimated that she made more than 1,000 dresses over the
	years; along the way, she slipped a handwritten note into a pocket
	of each dress to let the recipient know it was made just for her; in
	addition, she made overalls and other clothes for boys; and
	WHEREAS, Now an esteemed nonagenarian, Ms. Waller no longer
	sews, but she began purchasing items for the center with her bingo
	winnings; her fellow players learned of her kindness and began
	donating their winnings as well; and
	WHEREAS, Laura Waller has made a positive difference in the
	lives of countless young children through her compassion and her
	dedicated efforts in behalf of the Family Abuse Center, and she has
	inspired others through her generosity; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby honor Laura Waller for her contributions to the
	Family Abuse Center in Waco and extend to her sincere best wishes
	for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Ms. Waller as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.

	Anderson of McLennan
