A RESOLUTION

Congratulating and commending Debra Leigh Leverett Garing on the grand occasion of her 71st birthday; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Debra Leigh Leverett Garing was born on February 12, 1955, in Atlanta, Georgia, to Florence Kemp Leverett and Ernest Freeman Leverett; and

WHEREAS, Debbie distinguished herself from an early age as a bright and likeable child, although, through the development of her character that trajectory took an unexpected turn; and

WHEREAS, as a child Debbie idolized her big sister, Sheryl Lynne Leverett Williams, and they consistently would get in trouble together or get each other in trouble separately; and

WHEREAS, Debbie attended and graduated with honors from The Westminster Schools in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1973; and

WHEREAS, Debbie later attended and graduated with honors from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, in 1977; graduated from the University of Georgia School of Veterinary Medicine, in 1984; and attended several other schools along the way that she'd rather not admit to; and

WHEREAS, for over 30 years, Debbie has served numerous four-legged patients in her veterinary practice in Elkin, North Carolina, and has improved the quality of life for her patients and their humans; and

WHEREAS, Debbie has been blessed with two children, Laura Leigh Garing and Leverett Ladson Garing, and a grandchild, Halle, who as a young child was always cautious not to do anything that would make DeeDee "very, very sad, and very, very mad"; and

WHEREAS, Debbie is consistently known as a great friend and sibling, especially to her baby brother, who loves her very much (despite all customarily observable objective criteria); and

WHEREAS, it is fitting that this body honor Debbie on the occasion of her 71st birthday– a milestone many thought, based on her antics during her teen years, she would never reach.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body congratulate and commend Debra Leigh Leverett Garing on the occasion of her 71st birthday and extend to her a Laurel and Hardy handshake for her outstanding accomplishments.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to Debra Leigh Leverett Garing.
