H.R. No. 710
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, No words can soften the pain of a young life cut
  short, and we join the family and friends of Devante Johnson of
  Houston in mourning his passing on March 1, 2007, at the age of 14;
  and
         WHEREAS, Much beloved by his family and friends, Devante was
  a thoughtful and caring young man who demonstrated remarkable
  courage and fortitude in the face of his illness; and
         WHEREAS, The inevitable sadness that springs from losing
  Devante at such an age may be soothed by the knowledge that his
  loved ones are indeed richer for having known him, and the briefness
  of the moments during which he graced their lives has made them all
  the more precious; and
         WHEREAS, Although his years on this earth were far too brief,
  no amount of time will ever diminish the joy and inspiration he
  brought to those who knew and loved him; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
  Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Devante Johnson and
  extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to his mother,
  Tamika Scott; to his brothers, Derrick and Demarcus; 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 Devante
  Johnson.
