  proceedings and the appropriations process; and
 
         WHEREAS, Throughout his years of legislative service, he
  was noted for his wisdom, experience, commitment to the law, and
  dedication to the welfare of legislative constituents; he was
  also beloved by all who serve in the Capitol for his convivial
  spirit, wry wit, and engaging personality; and
 
         WHEREAS, He was an exemplary gentleman in the truest sense
  of the phrase, and he was an intelligent, bighearted person who
  was respected for his high standards and his accomplishments; he
  was devoted to his wife, Cheryl, his daughter and two sons, and
  his six grandchildren; and
 
         WHEREAS, A treasured Texas citizen and public servant,
  Colin Coe will be greatly missed by his family and friends and by
  all who were privileged to share in his life; now, therefore, be
  it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
