WHEREAS, No words can adequately express the sorrow that was |
|

felt across the state and nation at the attack that occurred at the |

with the passage of a year since that tragedy, we continue to honor |
|
|
the 26 innocent lives lost; and |

|
WHEREAS, Those individuals who were killed were all members |
|
|
of a close-knit church family, and the sudden and senseless loss of |

precious sons and daughters was mourned by countless loved ones; |
|
|
and |

|
WHEREAS, The memory of these men, women, and children will |
|
|
remain forever in the hearts of their surviving families and their |
|
|
loving community, and we join them in honoring the lives and |

legacies of these 26 Texans; now, therefore, be it |
