|
WHEREAS, The family and friends of Makenna Lee Elrod of |
|
|
Uvalde suffered a heartbreaking loss with the passing of this |
|
|
cherished young girl on May 24, 2022, at the age of 10; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Makenna Lee Elrod was born on April 19, 2012, and was |
|
|
raised by her loving parents, April Elrod and Chris Seiler; she was |
|
|
blessed with two sisters, Cailey and Cayden, and a brother, Holden, |
|
|
along with her grandparents and a number of aunts, uncles, and |
|
|
cousins; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Makenna radiated love and kindness toward everyone; |
|
|
she was a natural leader who readily endeared herself to others, |
|
|
making new friends everywhere she went, and she had a sunny smile |
|
|
that brightened the world around her; her affinity for animals led |
|
|
her to join the 4-H club, and she also enjoyed participating in |
|
|
softball and gymnastics, dancing and singing, going to school, and |
|
|
spending time with her family; she never hesitated to help out when |
|
|
asked, and she had a habit of writing notes and leaving them in |
|
|
hidden places for her family members to find; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While her journey on this earth ended far too soon, |
|
|
Makenna Lee Elrod touched the lives of many people during the time |
|
|
she shared with them, and those who were fortunate enough to know |
|
|
her will forever keep her memory alive in their hearts; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Makenna Lee Elrod and |
|
|
extend sincere condolences to the members of her family: to her |
|
|
parents, April Elrod and Chris Seiler; to her grandparents, Sharon |
|
|
Brown, Mike Brown, Brenda Fernandez, Nancy Brown, LeeAnn Kramer and |
|
|
Leslie, Steve and Maryland Seiler, and Pat and Jim Sibigtroth; to |
|
|
her great-grandmother, Myrtle Brown; to her siblings, Cailey and |
|
|
Cayden Seiler and Holden Elrod; to her cousins, Madison, Payton, |
|
|
and Zoe McCullough; to her aunts and uncles, Kyle and Allison |
|
|
McCullough, Heather Seiler, Jordan Seiler, and Tabitha Seiler; and |
|
|
to the countless others in Uvalde and beyond 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 Makenna Lee |
|
|
Elrod. |
| |
|
|
King of Uvalde |
