WHEREAS, Words cannot fully express the sorrow felt by the |
|
family and friends of Zoe Angelinh Peterson of Round Rock, who |
|
passed away on March 19, 2023, at the age of 8; and |
|
WHEREAS, Born on January 28, 2015, Zoe Peterson was the |
|
cherished daughter of Matt and Nga Peterson; despite the medical |
|
challenges she faced from her Trisomy 18 diagnosis, this precious |
|
little girl exuded hope and joy in all her endeavors; she loved |
|
receiving big bear hugs from her brother, snuggling with her dad, |
|
and singing along with her mom's personalized cheers; she also |
|
enjoyed reading books with her "Grammy" and learning Vietnamese |
|
songs with her "Ba"; and |
|
WHEREAS, A social butterfly who was always on the go, Zoe was |
|
a first grade student at Caldwell Heights Elementary School; she |
|
was blessed with a sunny smile and a terrific sense of humor, and |
|
one of her favorite activities was attending Sunday Mass with her |
|
entire family at St. John Vianney Catholic Church; and |
|
WHEREAS, Although her journey on this earth ended far too |
|
soon, Zoe Peterson inspired everyone around her with her tremendous |
|
grace and determination, and her memory will continue to shine |
|
brightly in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know |
|
her; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Zoe Angelinh Peterson |
|
and extend deepest condolences to the members of her family: to her |
|
parents, Matt and Nga "Nye" Peterson; to her brother, Lucas |
|
Peterson; to her maternal grandmother, Nghi Nguyen; to her paternal |
|
grandmother, Karen Peterson; to her uncle, Andrew Peterson; to her |
|
godparents, Thanh Nguyen and Hanh Nguyen; and to her many other |
|
relatives; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of |
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Zoe |
|
Peterson. |
