|
|
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at |
|
|
the passing of nine-year-old Molly Claire DeWitt of Houston, who |
|
|
was tragically lost in the July 4, 2025, flooding in Kerr County; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The daughter of Ryan and Elizabeth DeWitt, Molly |
|
|
DeWitt was born in Houston on June 10, 2016, and she was blessed |
|
|
with the companionship of a sister, Annie; her circle of love and |
|
|
support also included her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Molly was a creative young girl who delighted in |
|
|
drawing, dancing, and telling stories; insatiably curious, she was |
|
|
a voracious reader, and she was always eager to learn more about the |
|
|
world; she also enjoyed playing soccer with her friends; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Known for her compassion, Molly was quick to extend |
|
|
kindness to those in need; she was also confident and unafraid to |
|
|
speak her mind, and her vivid blue-green eyes helped her to connect |
|
|
with those around her and to make them feel seen; her faith played a |
|
|
guiding role in her life, shaping her to love with sincerity, |
|
|
generosity, and grace beyond her years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although her days were far too few, the joy and |
|
|
radiance with which Molly DeWitt lived her life will forever |
|
|
comfort and inspire all who were fortunate enough to know her; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory |
|
|
of Molly Claire DeWitt and extend deepest condolences to the |

|
|
Anne DeWitt and Max and Vicki Garrett; to her aunts and uncles, Sean |

and Trudy DeWitt, Brendan and Virginia DeWitt, Kevin and Natalie |
|
|
DeWitt, Tyler and Abby Garrett, and Charlotte Garrett; to her |
|
|

|
|
and Audrey and Davis Garrett; and to her other relatives and |
|
|
friends; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of |
