WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at |
|
|
the tragic loss of Elijah Matthew Anderson of Fort Worth, who passed |
|
|
away on February 12, 2013, at the age of 11; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The son of Brian and Cathryn Anderson, Eli enjoyed |
|
|
spending time with his close-knit family, which included his two |
|
|
brothers, Brandon and Noah, with whom he engaged in Nerf gun battles |
|
|
and Lego building projects; demonstrating budding skill as a |
|
|
handyman and an inquisitive mind about how things work, he |
|
|
frequently offered to repair items around the house and joined his |
|
|
father in servicing cars; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eli was a cherished friend to many at Creekview |
|
|
Middle School and in the preteen ministry at Lighthouse Fellowship; |
|
|
he delighted in setting out on adventures with the other children in |
|
|
his neighborhood, and this spirited young Texan could always be |
|
|
counted on to bring smiles and laughter to all those he encountered |
|
|
along the way; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although his time on this earth was far too brief, |
|
|
Eli Anderson inspired countless others with his kindness and his |
|
|
remarkable zest for life, and the joy that he brought to his loved |
|
|
ones is a blessing that will be treasured in their hearts forever; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Elijah Matthew |
|
|
Anderson and extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: |
|
|
to his parents, Brian and Cathryn Anderson; to his brothers, |
|
|
Brandon and Noah Anderson; to his grandparents, Larry and Pamela |
|
|
Anderson and Gary and Carolyn Curry; to his uncles, Matt Anderson, |
|
|
Bret Curry, and Todd Curry; to the family's close friend, |
|
|
Kassaundra Lawrence; 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 Elijah |
|
|
Matthew Anderson. |
