R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, Skyler K. Reynolds of Houston was honored for her achievements at the Reginald Keith Guillory Scholarship Luncheon on April 18, 2009; and

WHEREAS, This gathering recognized 23 students who have distinguished themselves through their academic pursuits and civic involvement; the awards pay tribute to the memory of Reginald Keith Guillory, a student, musician, and member of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Houston, whose tragic death in an automobile accident at the age of 18 prompted area residents to create a scholarship fund; and

WHEREAS, A most deserving recipient of this award, Ms. Reynolds is the daughter of Frank and Felita Reynolds and a member of New Spirit of Life Missionary Baptist Church; she is graduating with honors from Booker T. Washington High School for the Engineering Professions and plans to attend Texas A&M University, where she intends to work toward a career as a registered pediatric nurse; and

WHEREAS, This fine young Texan is an exemplary member of her community and a source of tremendous pride to her family and teachers, and she may indeed look with anticipation and optimism toward the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas Legislature hereby congratulate Skyler K. Reynolds on her receipt of a 2009 Reginald Keith Guillory Scholarship and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success in all of her endeavors; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Ms. Reynolds as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
