WHEREAS, The family and friends of Raymond Darnell "RJ" Pryer |

|
little boy, who passed away on July 19, 2018, at the age of three; |
|
and |

|
that included his grandparents and great-grandparents and a host of |
|
aunts and uncles; and |
|
WHEREAS, A bright and cheerful child, RJ loved learning and |
|
visiting with his classmates and teachers at his private school and |
|
day care; he was very enthusiastic about music, so much so that his |
|
family affectionately indulged this interest by converting a room |
|
in their home into a small studio for him; he also enjoyed the color |
|
yellow, and he delighted in playing with balls and riding around on |
|
his Power Wheels; and |
|
WHEREAS, Although his time on this earth was far too brief, RJ |
|
Pryer was a ray of light in the lives of those who held him dear, and |
|
the memory of this beloved child will forever be carried in their |
|
hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
