	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 863
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize Paula Hardy on the occasion of the recent publication
	of her memoir, Paula's Story; and
	WHEREAS, Paula Hardy was born prematurely in June of 1956
	and diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth; she was not expected
	to live more than three days, and doctors informed her mother
	that, if she did survive, she would suffer from developmental
	delays and blindness; and
	WHEREAS, Paula is now 60 years old; her eyesight and
	intellect are fully intact, and she lives happily at the Hilltop
	Village Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Kerrville; although
	she has undergone countless surgeries and has never been able to
	walk, she has built a fulfilling life of purpose and has brought
	light into the lives of countless people; and
	WHEREAS, Paula's memoir chronicles 60 joyful years of hope
	and perseverance; the author recounts growing up with the loving
	support of her mother and of her stepfather, who adopted Paula in
	1969; and
	WHEREAS, Paula has had many memorable experiences in her
	life, and since moving to Hilltop Village almost a decade ago,
	she has developed a close group of cherished friends who fill her
	days with parties, dinner excursions, shopping trips, and
	matinee movies; and
	WHEREAS, Paula is a beloved member of her community, and
	she thoroughly enjoys welcoming new residents and getting to know
	them as neighbors and friends; her memoir is sure to engage
	readers and to inspire them to truly live life to the fullest;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
	Legislature, hereby recognize Paula Hardy as a treasured citizen
	of this state and congratulate her on the publication of Paula's
	Story; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.

	Buckingham
