WHEREAS, Landry Kate Robinson of Abilene, whose bravery and |
|
|
grace captured the hearts of countless people, passed away on April |
|
|
16, 2017, at the age of 14; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born in Abilene on February 21, 2003, Landry was the |
|
|
cherished daughter of Kory and Shannon Robinson; shortly after her |
|
|
sixth birthday, she was diagnosed with brain cancer, and her battle |
|
|
with the disease would last for eight years; through it all, she |
|
|
proved herself a fighter in the face of every challenge she met, and |
|
|
she never lost her sense of hope or her joy for life; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A vibrant young woman, Landry was a fan of all things |
|
|
pink, purple, and frilly, and she had a special flair for |
|
|
decorating; she drew strength and comfort from her faith and from |
|
|
the affection of her loving family and friends, and she also |
|
|
inspired an outpouring of support from numerous well-wishers, |
|
|
including members of the Wylie High School community, who held |
|
|
fund-raisers and prayer services in her honor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With her warmth, kindness, and indomitable spirit, |
|
|
Landry Robinson brightened the lives of everyone around her and |
|
|
showed them the true meaning of courage, and she will always be |
|
|
remembered with love and admiration by those who held her dear; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Landry Kate |
|
|
Robinson and extend deepest condolences to the members of her |

|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
