|
WHEREAS, Words cannot fully express the heartache felt by the |
|
|
family and friends of Layla Marie Salazar of Uvalde, who passed away |
|
|
on May 24, 2022, at the age of 11; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Layla Salazar was born in Elgin, Illinois, on |
|
|
September 19, 2010, to Vincent Salazar III and Melinda Alejandro; |
|
|
she enjoyed the companionship of two brothers, Julian and Nicholas, |
|
|
and she was further cherished by her grandparents and |
|
|
great-grandparents as well as a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Layla was a high-spirited young girl who took |
|
|
advantage of any opportunity to sing and dance; though energetic |
|
|
and sometimes rambunctious, she was also respectful of her elders, |
|
|
and she was the first to greet relatives, friends, and guests who |
|
|
visited the family's home; her competitive nature shined in many |
|
|
different activities such as swimming and running, and she beamed |
|
|
with pride when she took home six first-place ribbons from her |
|
|
school's field day; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although the passing of Layla Salazar is an |
|
|
incalculable loss to all those who held her dear, they may find |
|
|
comfort in knowing that their lives have been forever enriched by |
|
|
the love, laughter, and kindness she shared with them; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Layla Marie Salazar |
|
|
and extend heartfelt condolences to the members of her family: to |
|
|
her parents, Vincent Salazar III and Melinda Alejandro; to her |
|
|
brothers, Julian and Nicholas Salazar; to her grandparents, Lisa |
|
|
and Roberto Alejandro and Vincent and Alma Salazar; to her |
|
|
great-grandparents, Mary and Joe Deleon, Romualda Alejandro, |
|
|
Consuelo Salazar, and Alicia Alejandro; to her aunts, uncles, |
|
|
cousins, and friends; 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 Layla Marie |
|
|
Salazar. |
| |
|
|
King of Uvalde |
