WHEREAS, Family and friends are mourning the passing of |
|
|
eight-year-old Lucy Dillon of Houston, who was tragically lost in |
|
|
the July 4, 2025, flooding in Kerr County; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born to Brandt and Lisa Dillon on December 17, 2016, |
|
|
in Houston, Lucy Dillon was a source of tremendous joy to her |
|
|
parents; she treasured the time she spent with her sister, Charley, |
|
|
and her half-sisters, Maren and Miranda, and her circle of love and |
|
|
support also included her grandparents, Suki and Joe Posevina; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A rising third grader at Memorial Drive Elementary |
|
|
School, Lucy was a proud "math mover" who was known for her academic |
|
|
success, her insatiable curiosity, and her remarkable memory; |
|
|
moreover, her love of learning extended to fun facts and sports |
|
|
statistics; she was an avid reader, and she collected crystals, |
|
|
gems, bobblehead athletes, fidget toys, and anything featuring |
|
|
corgis; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Lucy made friends everywhere she went, and she was a |
|
|
gifted athlete who began riding a bicycle when she was three years |
|
|
old and playing basketball at age four; a devoted Houston Rockets |
|
|
fan, she delighted in shooting baskets in the driveway with the |
|
|
members of her family; fiercely competitive, she had recently |
|
|
helped her basketball and softball teams win league championships, |
|
|
and she dreamed of becoming a college basketball player; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although her time on this earth was far too brief, |
|
|
Lucy Dillon was a ray of light in the lives of those who held her |
|
|
dear, and they will never forget the kindness, passion, and |
|
|
determination that she brought to her every endeavor; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory |

|
|
family: to her parents, Brandt and Lisa Dillon; to her sister, |
|
|
Charley Dillon; to her half-sisters, Maren Dillon and Miranda |
|
|
Dillon Hassler; to her maternal grandparents, Suki Posevina and Joe |
|
|
Posevina; to her uncle, Michael Posevina; and to all those who share |
|
|
in the sorrow of her loss; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Lucy |
|
|
