| H.R. No. 883 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at | ||
| the tragic loss of Elijah Matthew Anderson of Fort Worth, who passed | ||
| away on February 12, 2013, at the age of 11; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The son of Brian and Cathryn Anderson, Eli enjoyed | ||
| spending time with his close-knit family, which included his two | ||
| brothers, Brandon and Noah, with whom he engaged in Nerf gun battles | ||
| and Lego building projects; demonstrating budding skill as a | ||
| handyman and an inquisitive mind about how things work, he | ||
| frequently offered to repair items around the house and joined his | ||
| father in servicing cars; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Eli was a cherished friend to many at Creekview | ||
| Middle School and in the preteen ministry at Lighthouse Fellowship; | ||
| he delighted in setting out on adventures with the other children in | ||
| his neighborhood, and this spirited young Texan could always be | ||
| counted on to bring smiles and laughter to all those he encountered | ||
| along the way; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Although his time on this earth was far too brief, | ||
| Eli Anderson inspired countless others with his kindness and his | ||
| remarkable zest for life, and the joy that he brought to his loved | ||
| ones is a blessing that will be treasured in their hearts forever; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Elijah Matthew | ||
| Anderson and extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: | ||
| to his parents, Brian and Cathryn Anderson; to his brothers, | ||
| Brandon and Noah Anderson; to his grandparents, Larry and Pamela | ||
| Anderson and Gary and Carolyn Curry; to his uncles, Matt Anderson, | ||
| Bret Curry, and Todd Curry; to the family's close friend, | ||
| Kassaundra Lawrence; and to his other relatives and many friends; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of | ||
| Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Elijah | ||
| Matthew Anderson. | ||
