SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 285
|
|
|
WHEREAS, On July 12, 2016, at 11:33 a.m., the prayers of Jason and Erika |
|
|
Hassay, as well as those of their family and friends, were answered with the birth |
|
|
of a healthy baby boy, Harrison Michael Hassay; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born 70 years to the day after his maternal grandfather, Michael |
|
|
Pierson, this handsome bundle of joy weighed 8 pounds, 1 ounce, and measured |
|
|
20-1/2 inches in length when he made his long-awaited debut in Austin; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Harrison's birth has brought great happiness not only to his |
|
|
parents, his older brother, Hudson, and his grandparents, Andrew and Nancy Hassay |
|
|
and Michael and Debbie Pierson, but also to his aunts and uncles, Jeff Hassay and |
|
|
Sarah Lehrer-Graiver, Chris and Lindsey Pierson, Jessica and Buddy Bishop, and |
|
|
James Hassay, and his cousins, Hays, Drew, Reid, Joshua, Anthony, and Rosie; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Harrison's parents firmly believe that "children are a gift of |
|
|
the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward" (Psalm 127:3), and his godparents Paul |
|
|
and Jen Kirsch extend to him the prayer of Numbers 6:24-26: "The Lord bless you |
|
|
and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the |
|
|
Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace"; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, As Philippians 1:6 says, "And I am certain that God, who began the |
|
|
good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished"; |
|
|
moreover, Harrison's parents turn to the words of 2 Peter 1:2 to pray for the |
|
|
newest addition to their family: "God give you more and more grace and peace as |
|
|
you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord"; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Harrison Michael Hassay has already won the hearts of all who have |
|
|
met him, and it is truly a pleasure to welcome this fine young Texan as a new |
|
|
citizen of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th Legislature, hereby |
|
|
congratulate Jason and Erika Hassay on the birth of their son and extend to |
|
|
Harrison Michael Hassay warmest best wishes for a bright and promising future; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the family as an |
|
|
expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
