5	5	WHEREAS, Residents of Elsa lost an admired neighbor and a
6	6	respected member of the community with the passing of Leonel Garza,
7	7	Sr., on April 4, 2009, at the age of 85; and
8	8	WHEREAS, Mr. Garza was born on December 4, 1923, to Castulo
9	9	and Juanita Garcia Garza in Ciudad Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico; he
10	10	married the former Irene Canales and they moved to Elsa in 1941,
11	11	where Mr. Garza initially worked in various agriculture-related
12	12	jobs; and
13	13	WHEREAS, The couple enjoyed a rewarding marriage and raised
14	14	five children, Palmira, Elmira, Luis, Leonel, and Ancira; with the
15	15	passing years, the family grew to include 11 grandchildren and 4
16	16	great-grandchildren; and
17	17	WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Garza founded Garza's Flower Shop in
18	18	Elsa in 1969; the business was a success, and the couple were able
19	19	to acquire property and help their children and grandchildren to
20	20	establish productive lives of their own; though his Mexican
21	21	heritage was always dear to his heart, Mr. Garza was proud of his
22	22	adopted country and welcomed the opportunity to share in the
23	23	responsibilities of being a U.S. citizen; and
24	24	WHEREAS, A caring husband and father with a wonderful sense
25	25	of humor, Mr. Garza entertained his loved ones with his jokes and
26	26	comical antics, and he took great enjoyment in music, dancing,
27	27	traveling, and playing dominos; his life was an inspiring example
28	28	of the positive things that can be achieved through hard work and an
29	29	abiding concern for others, and he will be fondly remembered and
30	30	greatly missed by all who had the good fortune to know him; now,
31	31	therefore, be it
32	32	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
33	33	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Leonel Garza, Sr., and
34	34	extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to his wife,
35	35	Irene Canales Garza; to his children, Palmira Lozano and her
36	36	husband, Leonel, Elmira Garza, Luis Garza and his wife, Rosario,
37	37	Leonel Garza, Jr., and his wife, Terry, and Ancira Cuartas and her
38	38	husband, Dario; to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren; to
39	39	his sister, Lionila Gonzalez; to his cousin, Dominga Zamora; and to
40	40	his other relatives and friends; and, be it further
41	41	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
42	42	prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of
43	43	Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Leonel
