|
WHEREAS, No words can diminish the pain caused by a young life |
|
|
cut short, but all those who shared in the love and friendship of |
|
|
Karmin Tergerson Brown of Bellmead treasure their memories of this |
|
|
special young woman, who died on March 9, 2011, at the age of 22; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The daughter of Richard Brown and Gail Tergerson, |
|
|
Ms. Brown was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 6, 1988; |
|
|
as a little girl, she enjoyed playing with toy wrenches and |
|
|
screwdrivers while her father worked on cars, and they spent myriad |
|
|
happy hours riding together on motorcycles and four-wheelers, as |
|
|
well as in cars; she and her mother shared such traditions as baking |
|
|
cookies at Christmas, and her adopted father, Terry Tergerson, |
|
|
provided understanding and guidance, helping her develop her faith; |
|
|
an avid reader, she also loved to explore bookshops with her |
|
|
stepmother, Jennifer Brown; her radiant smile brightened the days |
|
|
of innumerable people; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Brown graduated from Axel High School and went |
|
|
on to study childhood development at McLennan Community College; |
|
|
already a skilled caregiver, she could calm the most agitated child |
|
|
with her soft-spoken, compassionate manner; she was an adoring and |
|
|
motherly big sister, and she was deeply devoted to her fiance, Daryl |
|
|
Lee "Bam Bam" Farmer, with whom she shared a fulfilling |
|
|
relationship of five years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although her time with us was far too brief, Karmin |
|
|
Tergerson Brown brought great joy into the lives of her loved ones, |
|
|
and they will forever carry her close in their hearts; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Karmin Tergerson |
|
|
Brown and extend sincere condolences to the members of her family: |
|
|
to her mother, Gail Tergerson; to her father, Richard Brown; to her |
|
|
adopted father, Terry Tergerson; to her stepmother, Jennifer Brown; |
|
|
to her grandparents, Ada and Bill Brown and Ernest and Mary Lou |
|
|
Turman; and to her many other relatives and friends; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Karmin |
|
|
Tergerson Brown. |
