| WHEREAS, Killed in the line of duty on March 15, 2011, at the | ||
| age of 27, Officer Brown will long be missed by her family, her | ||

| WHEREAS, Though her life ended far too soon, Officer Brown | ||
| left behind a notable legacy that will forever be honored by those | ||
| who follow in this difficult but essential profession; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||

| Brown of the San Antonio Police Department and extend deepest | ||
| sympathy to her relatives, friends, and fellow officers; and, be it | ||
