R E S O L U T I O N
         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 88th Texas Legislature
  hereby pay tribute to the life of Alexandria Aniyah Rubio and extend
  sincere condolences to the members of her family: to her parents,
  Kimberly Mata-Rubio and Felix Rubio; to her siblings, Julian Rubio,
  Jahleela Rubio, David Falcon III, Kalisa Barboza, and Isaiah
  Rodriguez; to her aunt, Analyse Mata, and her uncle, Brandon
  Mendoza Sr.; to her cousins, Brandon Mendoza Jr., Derek Mendoza,
  and Mary-Claire Mendoza; to her grandparents, Cindy Castillo and
  her husband, Victor, Ruben F. Mata and his wife, Larisa, and Connie
  and Luis "Chacho" Rubio; to her great-grandparents, Mary and Ruben
  Mata, Margie and Julian Moreno, Oralia Orona and Trini Gutierrez,
  and Jesse and Maxine Martinez; to her numerous great-aunts,
  great-uncles, and cousins; to her best friend, Sarah; 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 Alexandria Rubio.
