H.R. No. 539



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, No words can soften the blow of a young life cut 
short, and it is with great sadness that we join in mourning the 
passing of Allison Ann Bucy on April 21, 2006, at the age of 23; and
	WHEREAS, A native Houstonian, Ms. Bucy was a champion debater 
at Midway High School before going on to earn a bachelor's degree in 
government from The University of Texas; and
	WHEREAS, At the time of her death, she was living and working 
in Washington, D.C., and her courage and positive outlook in the 
face of a devastating disease were an inspiration to all who knew 
her; the grace and grit with which Ms. Bucy met adversity have 
sharpened her community's sense of loss; and
	WHEREAS, Her keen intelligence and engaging personality 
brightened the lives of her family and friends, and all who were 
fortunate enough to have known this remarkable young woman will 
remember her with tenderness and affection as they cherish their 
memories of time spent in her company; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of 
Allison Ann Bucy and extend sincere sympathy to the members of her 
family: to her parents, the Honorable Jim Meyer and Carolyn Meyer 
and Flynn and Lorraine Bucy; to her grandparents, Dr. James Cole and

and Walter and Marylu Raushenbush; to her siblings, Cole Bucy, 
Jason Bucy, Mike Meyer, Brady Meyer, Johnny Bucy, and Elizabeth 
Bucy; and to her other relatives and many friends; and, be it 
further
	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 Allison Ann 
Bucy.
