WHEREAS, The family and friends of Jane Marie Hunt of Dallas |
|
|
suffered a heartbreaking loss with the passing of this beloved |
|
|
young girl on July 4, 2025, at the age of nine; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born in Dallas on May 8, 2016, Janie Hunt was the |
|
|
cherished daughter of Davin and Anne Lindsey Hunt and the older |
|
|
sister of two siblings, Henry and Julia; she was further surrounded |
|
|
by the love of her adoring grandparents, aunts, uncles, and |
|
|
cousins, and she was known for inventing new traditions to share |
|
|
with her family during the holidays; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Janie was a top student at The Day School at Highland |
|
|
Park Pres and Hyer Elementary School, where she excelled in |
|
|
mathematics and art and showcased her athletic talents on the |
|
|
basketball team; she dreamed of one day becoming a professional |
|
|
artist, and in addition to several other awards, she was proud that |
|
|
one of her works was the sole selection from her class for the |
|
|
Highland Park Independent School District 2025 Art Show; she also |
|
|
expressed herself by performing in ballet recitals, and she lit up |
|
|
the stage with her portrayal of Scuttle in a production of The |
|
|
Little Mermaid in 2024; moreover, she enjoyed being a member of the |
|
|
Girl Scouts, and she was looking forward to beginning training for |
|
|
tennis tournaments in the fall; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Faith played a guiding role in Janie's life; she was |
|
|
baptized at Highland Park Presbyterian Church, where she grew up |
|
|
attending Sunday school and singing in the children's choir; she |
|
|
loved attending Bible study, and she demonstrated the strength of |
|
|
her beliefs by standing up for and showing kindness toward those who |
|
|
were vulnerable; generous and compassionate, she was eager to |
|
|
donate her clothes, books, and stuffed animals to children in need, |
|
|
and last year, she showed great initiative by forming a group called |
|
|
the Baker Girls to fundraise for her school; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With a heart of gold and a spirit that shined, Janie |
|
|
Hunt brought joy to everyone around her, and this precious young |
|
|
girl will remain a source of inspiration for all who shared in the |
|
|
blessing of her life; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
