R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS,  Words cannot soften the sorrow of a young life cut 
short, and we join the loved ones of KayDee Welch of Mansfield in 
mourning her passing on March 30, 2005, at the age of 10; and
	WHEREAS, Born on February 22, 1995, in Fort Worth, Miss Welch 
was a fourth-grade student at Nash Elementary School and a vibrant 
young girl who loved field trips, singing, and the classic Dr. Seuss 
tale, Green Eggs and Ham; she was a member of the Girl Scouts and 
competed in area beauty pageants, and her enthusiasm for life was as 
boundless as the deep adoration she received from her friends and 
family; and
	WHEREAS, Although she struggled with a disability during the 
course of her life, this remarkable girl did not let it prevent her 
from having fun or embracing new experiences; and
	WHEREAS, KayDee Welch was truly an inspiration and will be 
dearly missed by the many people whose lives were touched by her 
affection, friendship, and sunny personality; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of KayDee Welch and 
extend deepest sympathy to the members of her family: to her mother, 
Tammy Welch; to her father, James Welch; to her brothers, Jeffery 
and Christopher; to her sister, Jennifer Brown; to her 
grandparents, Don and Mary King; and to her other relatives and 
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 KayDee 
Welch.
