                             HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
 1-1           WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Sarah Elisabeth Worley on
 1-2     April 2, 1998,  at the age of 17, has brought great sorrow and loss
 1-3     to the family and many friends of this bright and loving young
 1-4     Texan; and
 1-5           WHEREAS, Miss Worley was the daughter of Lee Worley, a U.S.
 1-6     customs agent, and Carmen Rivera-Worley,  former Val Verde County
 1-7     Attorney; in 1993, the Worley family moved to Denton, where Sarah
 1-8     became a high school honors student and earned admission to the
 1-9     prestigious Tulane University School of Architecture; and
1-10           WHEREAS, The esteem and genuine affection so many people held
1-11     for this remarkable young woman were apparent in two separate
1-12     memorial services, one in her hometown of Del Rio at the First
1-13     United Methodist Church and another in Denton at Trinity Methodist
1-14     Church; united in their high regard for Miss Worley, family and
1-15     friends have established a number of scholarships in her name as
1-16     well; and
1-17           WHEREAS, In her youth, her promise, and her intelligence,
1-18     Sarah Worley represented the best and brightest of Texas, and
1-19     though her presence is deeply missed, surely her spirit lives on in
1-20     the hearts and memories of all those who were privileged to know
1-21     her, and it is indeed fitting to honor her memory at this time;
1-22     now, therefore, be it
1-23           RESOLVED, That the 76th Legislature of the State of Texas
1-24     hereby pay tribute to the life of Sarah Elisabeth Worley and extend
 2-1     sincere sympathy to the members of her family: to her parents, Lee
 2-2     Worley and Carmen Rivera-Worley; to her brother, Ernest Lee Worley
 2-3     IV; to her grandparents, Jose M. Rivera and Ernest and Zina Worley;
 2-4     and to all her other relatives and many friends; and, be it further
 2-5           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 2-6     prepared for the members of her family and that when the Texas
 2-7     House of Representatives and Senate adjourn this day, they do so in
 2-8     memory of Sarah Elisabeth Worley.
