|
WHEREAS, Ms. Stewart's passion for her work was readily |
|
|
apparent to all who knew her; she had a gift for connecting with her |
|
|
students and building trust with even those who were harder to |
|
|
reach, and she inspired many with her genuine love of learning; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although Evonna Stewart is deeply missed by those |
|
|
she left behind, they will forever treasure their memories of her |
|
|
kindness, her exuberance, and her unwavering devotion to her |
|
|
profession; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Evonna Shameil |
|
|
Stewart and extend heartfelt condolences to all who mourn her |
|
|

|
|
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 Evonna |
|
|
