||
WHEREAS, Family and friends suffered an incalculable loss | ||
with the tragic passing of Amerie Jo Garza of Uvalde on | ||
May 24, 2022, at the age of 10; and | ||
WHEREAS, Born in Uvalde on May 10, 2012, Amerie Garza was | ||
cherished deeply by her parents, Kimberly Garcia and Alfred Garza | ||
III; she was a doting sister to her little brother, Zayne, and her | ||
loving family further included her stepfather, Angel, and her | ||
father's partner, Viviana, as well as her grandparents, aunts, | ||
uncles, and numerous cousins; and | ||
WHEREAS, Amerie, a kind and gentle girl with a lively | ||
attitude, could light up a room with her presence; she treasured the | ||
time she spent with her loved ones, and in addition to excelling at | ||
school as an honor roll student, she was a dedicated member of the | ||
Girl Scouts who took great pride in the badges she earned; she had a | ||
passion for drawing, painting, and working with clay, and her dream | ||
was to one day turn her creativity into a career as an art teacher; | ||
though young, she had demonstrated the courage to stand up for | ||
others, and she was posthumously honored for her bravery with the | ||
Girl Scouts' Bronze Cross award; and | ||
WHEREAS, Blessed with a heart of gold and an indomitable | ||
spirit, Amerie Garza is profoundly missed, and the memories she has | ||
left behind will forever be treasured by all who were privileged to | ||
share in her love and friendship; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Amerie Jo Garza and | ||

father, Alfred Garza III, and his partner, Viviana Granados; to her | ||
mother, Kimberly Garcia, and her husband, Angel Garza; to her | ||
brother, Zayne Garza; to her grandparents, Alfredo Garza Jr., Dora | ||
Mendoza and her husband, Fidencio Garcia, Berlinda Arreola and her | ||
husband, Ponciano, and Joe Garza and his wife, Gracie; to her aunts, | ||
Laura Garza, Vivian Garcia, Victoria Garcia, Desirae Garza, and | ||
Sara Garza; to her uncles, Jose Martinez, Fidencio Garcia Jr., | ||
Christopher Carbajal, Joe Garza Jr., and Jeremy Garza; to her | ||
cousins; and to the countless others in Uvalde and beyond who mourn | ||
