|
Thomas, Wes, and Warren, and two great-grandchildren, Isabella and |
|
Derek; and |
|
WHEREAS, Strong in his faith, Mr. Del Valle was a longtime |
|
congregant of Mary Immaculate Catholic Church, and he served his |

community as a member of Friends of the Branch; in retirement, he |
|
enjoyed going on cruises, taking trips to Branson, Missouri, and |
|
watching his grandsons play football for Bishop Lynch High School; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, Luis Del Valle's passing has brought great sadness |
|
to his family and many friends, but he has left them with a |

|
place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
