SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 589
|
| |
| |
|
|
In Memory |
|
|
of |
|
|
Makenna Elrod Seiler |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, The family and friends of Makenna Elrod Seiler 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 Elrod Seiler 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 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the life of Makenna Elrod |
|
|
Seiler 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 Senate adjourns |
|
|
this day, it do so in memory of Makenna Elrod Seiler. |
