H.R. No. 2802

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Linda Christofilis has dedicated the past three
	decades to serving the people of Texas as a member of the
	legislative community, and she is indeed deserving of special
	recognition for her outstanding efforts; and
	WHEREAS, Born prophetically on Texas Independence Day,
	Ms. Christofilis began her long affiliation with the state
	legislature in the mid-1980s, when she was hired as a committee
	clerk for the Senate Health and Human Services Committee under
	Senator Chet Brooks; she worked as a legislative aide for Senator
	Mike Moncrief from 1991 to 2003 and was subsequently named chief of
	staff for Representative Rick Noriega, during whose tenure she
	helped to promote passage of the Texas Dream Act; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Christofilis went on to work for Senator Rodney
	Ellis before returning to the house to join the staff of
	Representative Ruth Jones McClendon as clerk of the Rules &
	Resolutions Committee; over the course of her career, she has
	shared her expertise and been a caring mentor to a host of new
	staffers and interns, and she continues to keep apprised of
	developments and achievements in many of their lives and careers to
	this day; along the way, she has marked a number of milestones of
	her own, raising two children as a single parent and welcoming the
	arrival of three treasured granddaughters; and
	WHEREAS, With her kind and caring ways, Linda Christofilis
	has made countless friends over the course of the past 30 years, and
	her contributions as a staffer for both the house and senate have
	made a lasting and positive difference in the Capitol community and
	beyond; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby commend Linda Christofilis on her many years of
	exemplary service to the State of Texas and extend to her warmest
	best wishes for continued happiness and fulfillment; and, be it
	further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Ms. Christofilis as an expression of high regard by
	the Texas House of Representatives.
