               WHEREAS, The 100th birthday of an esteemed Texan is indeed  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        cause for celebration, and Laura Bennett of Plano is marking this  | 
      
      
        |

        momentous milestone in her life on May 20, 2015, to the delight of  |

               WHEREAS, Born in 1915, Laura Bennett was raised with her  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        two brothers and two sisters, to whom she was devoted; she was  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        employed as a waitress, and later she and her husband became the  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        owners of a restaurant; although she worked long hours, she  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        always made time for her treasured family; and |

        | 
           
			 | 
               WHEREAS, Mrs. Bennett assisted her sisters and  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 |

        | 
           
			 | 
        born, and as her 20 nieces and nephews grew up, she was ever ready  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        to share her time or provide them with funds; caring and  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        generous, she gladly opened her home to anyone who needed a place  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        to stay, whether for a night or a year, and she ensured that  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        nobody went hungry, even when her resources were limited; and | 
      
      
        |   | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 |

        | 
           
			 | 
        look to her as a tremendous source of wisdom, love, and  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        inspiration as she joins the elite ranks of those who can reflect  | 
      
      
        | 
           
			 | 
        on 100 years of life well lived; now, therefore, be it |
