SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 583
|
| |
| |
|
|
In Memory |
|
|
of |
|
|
Layla Marie Salazar |
| |
|
|
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 Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|
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 Senate adjourns |
|
|
this day, it do so in memory of Layla Marie Salazar. |
