	WHEREAS, Mrs. Thompson devoted herself to her loved ones,
	attending every event and remembering every special occasion; Mr.

	as well, she assisted in the offering of communion as a lay
	Eucharistic minister, and she was active with the Cistercian Abbey
	and Preparatory School; in addition, she helped found the women's
	auxiliary at the Nexus Recovery Center; and
	WHEREAS, Peggy Thompson lived a rewarding and purposeful life
	centered around her faith and her family, and she leaves behind a
	legacy of love, compassion, and concern for others that will
	continue to inspire all who knew her; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Margaret Ann Dunlap
