|
left an indelible mark on the community; and |

WHEREAS, It is also fitting to commemorate the loss of the two |

courageous teachers, Eva Mireles, age 44, and Irma Linda Garcia, |

|
|
safety of their students above all else; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, No amount of time can fully ease the pain that has |

followed in the wake of the incident, and the absence of these |
|
|
beloved children and educators continues to be felt every single |
|
|
day by their families, their friends, and the entire Uvalde |
|
|
community; their lives, filled with dreams and potential, were cut |
|
|
tragically short, and we honor their memories by celebrating the |
|
|
impact they had on those around them; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The resilience of the Uvalde community in the face |
|
|
of such unimaginable sorrow is a testament to the strength of those |
|
|
who have come together to comfort and support one another; through |
|
|
these efforts, residents are carrying forward the legacy of the |
|
|
victims while striving for a world where no one must endure such a |
|
|
tragedy again; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 89th Texas Legislature |
|
|
hereby pay tribute to the lives of the 21 victims of the mass |
|
|
shooting that took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on |
|
|
May 24, 2022, and extend deepest sympathy to all who mourn their |
|
|
passing. |
