WHEREAS, The daughter of E. J. and Pam Raley, the former Kelly | ||
Raley was born in Bay City on July 12, 1970; she grew up with a | ||
sister, Kim, and while in high school, she was a member of the | ||
Victoriadores drill team; possessed of an adventurous spirit, she | ||
celebrated her 19th birthday by going bungee jumping, and she | ||
became an expert on sharks during her time at Texas A&M University | ||
at Galveston, where she graduated with a degree in marine biology; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Franklin spent many years as a case worker with | ||
Adult Protective and Child Protective Services, and she further | ||
served youth as a volunteer with the Court Appointed Special | ||

her own bookkeeping service; after earning enrolled agent status | ||
from the Internal Revenue Service, she continued to assist clients | ||
with their taxes; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all her endeavors, Ms. Franklin cherished the | ||
love and support of her family; she took great pride in her three | ||
children, Skye, David, and Reece, her two grandchildren, Haven | ||
Raine and Stella Rose, and her "adopted" children, Carsyn, Mason, | ||
Joey, and Jabe, and she delighted in taking them to concerts, theme | ||
parks, and the beach; a gifted storyteller, she always found a way | ||
to make people laugh, and she was also known for her willingness to | ||
help others; and | ||
WHEREAS, Those fortunate enough to have known Kelly Franklin | ||
will remember the way she touched their lives with her kindness, | ||
generosity, and wonderful sense of humor, and she will forever hold | ||
a treasured place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory | ||
of Kelly Janette Raley Franklin and extend deepest condolences to | ||
her many relatives and friends; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
