||
WHEREAS, The family and friends of Makenna Lee Elrod of | ||
Uvalde suffered a heartbreaking loss with the passing of this | ||
cherished young girl on May 24, 2022, at the age of 10; and | ||
WHEREAS, Makenna Lee Elrod was born on April 19, 2012, and was | ||
raised by her loving parents, April Elrod and Chris Seiler; she was | ||
blessed with two sisters, Cailey and Cayden, and a brother, Holden, | ||
along with her grandparents and a number of aunts, uncles, and | ||
cousins; and | ||
WHEREAS, Makenna radiated love and kindness toward everyone; | ||
she was a natural leader who readily endeared herself to others, | ||
making new friends everywhere she went, and she had a sunny smile | ||
that brightened the world around her; her affinity for animals led | ||
her to join the 4-H club, and she also enjoyed participating in | ||
softball and gymnastics, dancing and singing, going to school, and | ||
spending time with her family; she never hesitated to help out when | ||
asked, and she had a habit of writing notes and leaving them in | ||
hidden places for her family members to find; and | ||
WHEREAS, While her journey on this earth ended far too soon, | ||
Makenna Lee Elrod touched the lives of many people during the time | ||
she shared with them, and those who were fortunate enough to know | ||
her will forever keep her memory alive in their hearts; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature | ||
hereby pay tribute to the life of Makenna Lee Elrod and extend | ||
sincere condolences to the members of her family: to her parents, | ||
April Elrod and Chris Seiler; to her grandparents, Sharon Brown, | ||
Mike Brown, Brenda Fernandez, Nancy Brown, LeeAnn Kramer and | ||
Leslie, Steve and Maryland Seiler, and Pat and Jim Sibigtroth; to | ||
her great-grandmother, Myrtle Brown; to her siblings, Cailey and | ||
Cayden Seiler and Holden Elrod; to her cousins, Madison, Payton, | ||
and Zoe McCullough; to her aunts and uncles, Kyle and Allison | ||
McCullough, Heather Seiler, Jordan Seiler, and Tabitha Seiler; and | ||
to the countless others in Uvalde and beyond 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 Senate adjourns this | ||
day, it do so in memory of Makenna Lee Elrod. |
