WHEREAS, Many lives were touched by the instinctive kindness |
|
of Helen Leticia Luna of San Antonio, who passed away on January 3, |
|
2018, at the age of 85; and |
|
WHEREAS, A San Antonio native, Helen Luna was born to Dolores |
|
Flores on September 24, 1932; she graduated from Thomas Jefferson |
|
High School in 1950, and five years later, she married Gregory Luna; |
|
the couple became the proud parents of four children, Leticia Ann, |
|
Delores, Gerard, and Gregory; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Luna devoted herself to her home and family, |
|
and her skillful management of the household allowed her husband to |
|
focus on completing his bachelor's and law degrees; after their |
|
children were grown, she provided invaluable support for his |
|
endeavors as a member of the Texas House of Representatives and |
|
Senate; she became active in many political and social groups and |
|
continued to give generously of her time and talents as an engaged |
|
citizen following Senator Luna's death in 1999; in recognition of |
|
her contributions, Gregory Luna Middle School named its National |
|
Junior Honor Society in her honor; and |
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, Mrs. Luna knew the joy of welcoming |
|
into her family four treasured grandchildren, Ariana, Sara, Sophie, |
|
and Gregory; she prepared incomparable meals for her family and had |
|
a tremendous gift for nurturing people, pets, and plants alike; and |
|
WHEREAS, Helen Luna set an inspiring example of dedication to |
|
her loved ones and to her community, and although she will be deeply |
|
missed, indelible memories of her grace, serenity, and bright |
|
spirit remain to comfort those she has left behind; now, therefore, |
|
be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Helen Leticia Luna 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 Helen Luna. |
