| tragic event that took place at the town's First Baptist Church | ||
| on November 5, 2017; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Twenty-six beloved church members lost their | ||

| were forever changed when a gunman opened fire on the | ||
| congregation during Sunday services; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Almost everyone in the small community was | ||
| directly affected by this terrible event; many lost more than one | ||
| family member or close friend in the tragedy; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Warmly remembered by their families, their fellow | ||
| church members, and their neighbors and townspeople, those who | ||
| died were fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, aunts, | ||
| uncles, grandparents, and children, all irreplaceable members of | ||
| a close-knit community that continues to mourn them; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The people of Sutherland Springs have | ||
| demonstrated exceptional resilience and have supported one | ||
| another with love and understanding as they have struggled to | ||
| carry on with their lives after this unimaginable loss; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby honor the lives of those who died in the | ||
| Sutherland Springs tragedy, recognize the members of this strong | ||
