SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 642

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Kristie Sanders, whose rapid response to an emergency saved the life of a young boy; and

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th Legislature, hereby commend Kristie Sanders on her quick thinking and decisive action and extend sincere appreciation to her for saving the life of this young Texan; and, be it further
