||
| WHEREAS, Family and friends will long cherish their memories | ||
| of Teresa de Jesus Flores Solis, who passed away on April 24, 2014, | ||
| at the age of 85; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Teresa Solis was born on October 15, 1928, and | ||
| raised in Laredo, where she attended Guadalupe Catholic School, | ||
| Christian Middle School, and Martin High School; an illness | ||
| prevented her from completing her studies, so she entered the | ||
| workforce early; and | ||
| WHEREAS, On November 7, 1951, she married Juan Manuel Solis; | ||
| the couple were blessed with 11 children, Juanita, Diana, Sylvia | ||
| Nora, Elia, Virginia, Manuel de Jesus, Javier, Juan Gerardo, | ||
| Adriana, Sandra, and Ruben; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After raising her children, Mrs. Solis returned to | ||
| school and received her GED from Laredo Community College at 53 | ||
| years of age; she had a desire to help others, particularly young | ||
| people, so she went to work at a children's learning center with the | ||
| City of Laredo Community Development program in 1972; she retired | ||
| in 1992 in order to spend more time with her grandchildren and | ||
| great-grandchildren; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A loving wife and mother and a superb chef, | ||
| Mrs. Solis always had room for more loved ones around the table at | ||
| "Guela's house," as her grandchildren called it, and was | ||
| continually ready with a hot mug of atole or cafecito and sweets | ||
| such as capirotada and pan dulce; in addition, she loved to dance | ||
| and enjoyed attending weddings, quinceañeras, reunions, and other | ||
| parties; she is remembered as a woman of steady faith and great | ||
| strength, full of light and laughter and compassion for others; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Teresa de Jesus Flores Solis lived a caring and | ||
| purposeful life; she treasured the time she spent in the company of | ||
| family and friends, and she is deeply missed by all those who held | ||
| her dear; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby honor the memory of Teresa de Jesus Flores Solis | ||
| and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her | ||
| children, Juanita Soliz and her husband, Joseph, Sylvia N. Brewster | ||
| and her husband, Sam, Elia Rios and her husband, Orlando, Manuel de | ||
| Jesus Solis and his wife, Martha, Javier Solis and his wife, Elena, | ||
| Juan Gerardo Solis, Adriana Degollado and her husband, Enrique, | ||
| Sandra Solis, and Ruben Solis and his wife, Marina; to her 25 | ||
| grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren; and to her many other | ||
| relatives and friends; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of | ||
| Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Teresa de | ||
| Jesus Flores Solis. | ||
