In memory of Bailey Marie Keller.
SR985 does not create new statutory law or amend existing laws, but rather functions as a formal acknowledgment by the Texas Senate of Bailey Marie Keller's life and the sorrow of her family following her untimely death. Although not a legislative bill in the traditional sense, it contributes to the legislative culture of recognizing and memorializing individuals who have made significant impressions in their communities, especially the youth.
Senate Resolution No. 985 is a memorial resolution that honors the life of Bailey Marie Keller, who tragically passed away at the young age of 11 on May 10, 2009. The resolution serves as an expression of sympathy and remembrance, emphasizing the warmth, kindness, and vibrant spirit that Bailey brought to the lives of her family and friends. It reflects on her enduring impact despite her short life, highlighting the deep affection and joy she spread among those around her.
As it is a resolution made in memory, SR985 does not encompass any points of contention typically associated with legislative bills that involve policy changes or regulatory adjustments. Instead, it fosters community support and compassion during times of loss, standing as a unifying gesture from the Senate toward the grieving family and broader community that Bailey touched during her life.
