SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 589
 
 
  In Memory
  of
  Makenna Elrod Seiler
 
         WHEREAS, The family and friends of Makenna Elrod Seiler of
  Uvalde suffered a heartbreaking loss with the passing of this
  cherished young girl on May 24, 2022, at the age of 10; and
         WHEREAS, Makenna Elrod Seiler was born on April 19, 2012,
  and was raised by her loving parents, April Elrod and Chris
  Seiler; she was blessed with two sisters, Cailey and Cayden, and
  a brother, Holden, along with her grandparents and a number of
  aunts, uncles, and cousins; and
         WHEREAS, Makenna radiated love and kindness toward
  everyone; she was a natural leader who readily endeared herself
  to others, making new friends everywhere she went, and she had a
  sunny smile that brightened the world around her; her affinity
  for animals led her to join the 4-H club, and she also enjoyed
  participating in softball and gymnastics, dancing and singing,
  going to school, and spending time with her family; she never
  hesitated to help out when asked, and she had a habit of writing
  notes and leaving them in hidden places for her family members to
  find; and
         WHEREAS, While her journey on this earth ended far too
  soon, Makenna touched the lives of many people during the time
  she shared with them, and those who were fortunate enough to know
  her will forever keep her memory alive in their hearts; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the life of Makenna Elrod
  Seiler and extend sincere condolences to the members of her
  family: to her parents, April Elrod and Chris Seiler; to her
  grandparents, Sharon Brown, Mike Brown, Brenda Fernandez, Nancy
  Brown, LeeAnn Kramer and Leslie, Steve and Maryland Seiler, and
  Pat and Jim Sibigtroth; to her great-grandmother, Myrtle Brown;
  to her siblings, Cailey and Cayden Seiler and Holden Elrod; to
  her cousins, Madison, Payton, and Zoe McCullough; to her aunts
  and uncles, Kyle and Allison McCullough, Heather Seiler, Jordan
  Seiler, and Tabitha Seiler; and to the countless others in Uvalde
  and beyond who mourn her passing; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
  prepared for her family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns
  this day, it do so in memory of Makenna Elrod Seiler.
