| extended family, friends, neighbors, and others, and she was a | ||
| superb cook who was especially known for her enchiladas suizas; she | ||
| blessed those around her through her many acts of kindness, as well | ||
| as through her deep loyalty and her optimistic worldview; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Although Carol Sullivan is deeply missed, all those | ||
| who held her dear will forever remember the joy, laughter, and love | ||
| that she brought into their lives; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
