H.R. No. 1406

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at
the tragic loss of Journey Ann Magness, who passed away on December
1, 2016, at the age of seven; and
WHEREAS, Born on June 17, 2009, Journey was adopted by her
devoted parents, Kim and David Magness, when she was five years old;
she took joy in the companionship of her twin brother, Lleyton, her
older brother, Chase, and her older sisters, Tricia, Sarah,
Kristina, and Lacee, and she had a niece, Baylynn, who was like a
sister to her; and
WHEREAS, At the time of her passing, Journey was a second
grade student at Lansberry Elementary School in Trinity, where she
loved her teachers and enjoyed getting together with her friends;
blessed with a wide, beaming smile and an irrepressible laugh, she
had a natural exuberance for life that was readily apparent to
everyone around her, and some of her favorite activities were
reading and playing on the swings; more than anything, she adored
her family, including her cherished dog, Olaf; and
WHEREAS, Although the loss of this precious little girl is
difficult to bear, her memory will continue to live on in the hearts
of all who knew her, and she leaves behind an enduring legacy of
love that will never be forgotten; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Journey Ann Magness
and extend sincere condolences to all 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 House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Journey Ann
Magness.
