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. |
