external defibrillator, which she subsequently used three times; |

|
|
provided them with essential information, and the man was taken to a |
|
|
nearby hospital for further treatment; ultimately, he was able to |
|
|
make a full recovery; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through her skill and quick thinking, Laura Rogers |
|
|
helped to avert a potential tragedy, and she is truly deserving of |
|
|
special recognition for her outstanding efforts; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 89th Texas Legislature |
|
|
hereby commend Laura Rogers for her lifesaving actions on May 29, |
|
|
2024, and extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be |
|
|
it further |

|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Rogers as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
Senate. |
