OPINION

BROOKSHIRE, Justice.

This is an appeal from an order or judgment granting the appellees' motion for summary judgment.

The appellant, in her several capacities, filed this legal proceeding as a result of Loniell's alleged exposure to silica while in the course and scope of his employment. The appellant's husband, Loniell Sowell, died on May 16, 1988. The appellant filed this lawsuit initially, nearly three years later, on May 14, 1991.
