         WHEREAS, Words cannot diminish the pain of a young life ended
  too soon, and it is with great sadness that we join in mourning the
  passing of Daniel Gordon Avery of Houston, who died at the age of
  16; and
         WHEREAS, His January 21, 2007, death has cut short a life
  filled with promise, yet during his years on this earth, Mr. Avery,
  a student at Waltrip High School, had done much to enrich the lives
  of his family and friends; and
         WHEREAS, Although deeply saddened by his death, his loved
  ones may take some comfort in their memories of many happy times
  spent in his company; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Daniel Gordon Avery
  and extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to his
  mother and stepfather, Becky and Mike McCullough; to his father,
  Daniel Avery; to his sister, Hannah Avery; to his stepsister and
  stepbrother, Chelsea and Michael McCullough; to his grandparents,
  Virginia Avery and Gordon Covington; and to his other relatives and
  many friends; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
  Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Daniel
  Gordon Avery.
