SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 584
|
| |
| |
|
|
In Memory |
|
|
of |
|
|
Alexandria A. Rubio |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the heartache |
|
|
felt by the family and friends of Alexandria Aniyah Rubio of |
|
|
Uvalde, who passed away on May 24, 2022, at the age of 10; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Alexandria Rubio, who was affectionately known as |
|
|
"Lexi," was born in Hondo on October 20, 2011, to Kimberly |
|
|
Mata-Rubio and Felix Rubio; she shared a loving bond with her two |
|
|
sisters, Jahleela and Kalisa, and her three brothers, Julian, |
|
|
David, and Isaiah, and she drew on the support of a large extended |
|
|
family that included her grandparents, great-grandparents, |
|
|
aunts, uncles, and cousins; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, An athletic and energetic fourth-grader, |
|
|
Alexandria inherited her father's passion for playing softball |
|
|
and basketball; they devoted many hours to their one-on-one |
|
|
practice sessions, and Lexi relished the experience of winning a |
|
|
championship with her youth basketball team last season; she also |
|
|
drew inspiration from her mother, who was pursuing a degree from |
|
|
St. Mary's University in San Antonio, and she hoped to one day |
|
|
enroll at the university herself to study mathematics then attend |
|
|
law school; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Alexandria cherished the time she spent with her |
|
|
family and friends, and some of her favorite activities included |
|
|
baking cookies with her great-grandmother, exchanging jokes with |
|
|
her loved ones, and curling up on the couch with a book; though |
|
|
she possessed a sarcastic wit, she was also caring and generous, |
|
|
and she had a beautiful smile that naturally progressed into |
|
|
hearty laughter whenever she was around her siblings; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Alexandria Rubio was a source of immense joy to |
|
|
everyone in her life, and although her loss is tremendously |
|
|
difficult to bear, her memory will forever be treasured by all |
|
|
who were blessed to know her; now, therefore, be it |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
