HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
WHEREAS, The citizens of Beaumont and the members of the |
|
Beaumont Police Department lost a great friend and public servant |
|
when Officer Lisa Renee Ligda Beaulieu was killed by a drunk driver |
|
on April 27, 2007, as she secured the scene of a major accident; and |
|
WHEREAS, Officer Beaulieu was renowned for her willingness to |
|
serve and her dedication to her colleagues and to the law |
|
enforcement profession; she overcame significant obstacles to |
|
achieve her dream of being a police officer and performed her job |
|
with great skill and tenacity; and |
|
WHEREAS, An individual who was as compassionate as she was |
|
resolute, Lisa Beaulieu exhibited a big-hearted generosity that was |
|
evident in her police work as well as in her devotion to her family |
|
and friends, treating others as she herself liked to be treated; and |
|
WHEREAS, Because of this tragic incident, a distinguished law |
|
enforcement professional and a caring citizen was killed, and the |
|
unnecessary circumstances of Officer Beaulieu's death stand as a |
|
reminder to the citizens of Texas of the tremendous danger |
|
associated with drinking and driving; and |
|
WHEREAS, Though her loved ones and fellow officers are |
|
understandably saddened by her passing, they may take some comfort |
|
in their fond memories of Lisa Beaulieu, a police officer whose |
|
achievements during her years on this earth are deserving of the |
|
greatest respect and admiration; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the 80th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
hereby pay tribute to the life of Officer Lisa Renee Ligda Beaulieu |
|
and extend deepest condolences to her family, friends, and |
|
colleagues; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of |
|
