|
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at |
|
|
the tragic loss of Journey Ann Magness, who passed away on December |
|
|
1, 2016, at the age of seven; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born on June 17, 2009, Journey was adopted by her |
|
|
devoted parents, Kim and David Magness, when she was five years old; |
|
|
she took joy in the companionship of her twin brother, Lleyton, her |
|
|
older brother, Chase, and her older sisters, Tricia, Sarah, |
|
|
Kristina, and Lacee, and she had a niece, Baylynn, who was like a |
|
|
sister to her; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, At the time of her passing, Journey was a second |
|
|
grade student at Lansberry Elementary School in Trinity, where she |
|
|
loved her teachers and enjoyed getting together with her friends; |
|
|
blessed with a wide, beaming smile and an irrepressible laugh, she |
|
|
had a natural exuberance for life that was readily apparent to |
|
|
everyone around her, and some of her favorite activities were |
|
|
reading and playing on the swings; more than anything, she adored |
|
|
her family, including her cherished dog, Olaf; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although the loss of this precious little girl is |
|
|
difficult to bear, her memory will continue to live on in the hearts |
|
|
of all who knew her, and she leaves behind an enduring legacy of |
|
|
love that will never be forgotten; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Journey Ann Magness |
|
|
and extend sincere condolences to all who mourn her passing; 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 Journey Ann |
|
|
Magness. |
