H.R. No. 1560

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Taylor's Gift Foundation is honoring the memory
	of a vibrant young woman by working to further the cause of organ
	donation; and
	WHEREAS, Taylor Storch of Coppell, who passed away at the age
	of 13, was the deeply beloved daughter of Todd and Tara Storch and
	the treasured sister of Ryan and Peyton; a gifted student, she
	played on the volleyball team and in the band at Coppell Middle
	School East and was active in her church; this confident, energetic
	teenager had a sprightly sense of humor and a keen ability to elicit
	laughter and smiles from others; and
	WHEREAS, On March 15, 2010, the Storch family was vacationing
	in Colorado when Taylor was involved in a tragic skiing accident;
	her parents decided to donate her organs in the hope that they might
	help others, a choice that reflected the compassion and generosity
	that defined their daughter; Taylor's organs have made an
	extraordinary difference for five people in need, who now live full
	and healthy lives; and
	WHEREAS, Inspired by the restorative impact of the decision
	to donate, the Storches established the Taylor's Gift Foundation to
	preserve Taylor's legacy and to encourage others to register to be
	organ donors; the foundation's team has since taken its message to
	various events and speaking engagements, and Todd and Tara Storch
	have authored a book in which they share their story, along with
	stories of four of the individuals whose lives their daughter
	blessed; and
	WHEREAS, While the passing of young Taylor Storch is a
	profound loss to all who knew her, her spirit endures in the passion
	and commitment of those who carry on the work of the Taylor's Gift
	Foundation and who, by promoting a truly noble act, are channeling
	grief into meaningful change; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize April 19, 2013, as Taylor Storch Day
	at the State Capitol and commend the Storch family and all those
	affiliated with the Taylor's Gift Foundation for their worthy
	efforts to advance the cause of organ donation; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
	for the Taylor's Gift Foundation and the Storch family as an
	expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
