WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Christene Holley Cooper and Charlene Holley Chesshir | ||
on the occasion of their 90th birthdays; and | ||
WHEREAS, Christene and Charlene Holley were born May 31, | ||
1927, to Johnnie Vanlandingham and Cleburne Casey Holley; the | ||
family experienced some hard times when they were young, and, at | ||
the age of 12, the identical twins came to live at the Hendrick | ||
Home for Children in Abilene; and | ||
WHEREAS, Charlene married James Chesshir in 1946, and the | ||
couple raised five children; Christene was married the next year | ||
to the late Stewart Cooper, and they raised four children; | ||
together, they have been blessed with many grandchildren and | ||
great-grandchildren; and | ||
WHEREAS, They have lived through times and experienced | ||
events that most people only know about through history books, | ||
and there is much to be learned from the wisdom they have gained | ||
over the years; and | ||
WHEREAS, They recently came full circle to an important part | ||
of their lives when they celebrated their 90th birthday at the | ||
Hendrick Home for Children; Christene and Charlene are beloved | ||
members of their respective communities, and they are known for | ||
their ready laughter, their wise counsel, and their enthusiasm | ||
for living each day to the fullest; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
