R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Many lives were touched by the instinctive kindness
of Helen Leticia Luna of San Antonio, who passed away on January 3,
2018, at the age of 85; and
WHEREAS, A San Antonio native, Helen Luna was born to Dolores
Flores on September 24, 1932; she graduated from Thomas Jefferson
High School in 1950, and five years later, she married Gregory Luna;
the couple became the proud parents of four children, Leticia Ann,
Delores, Gerard, and Gregory; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Luna devoted herself to her home and family,
and her skillful management of the household allowed her husband to
focus on completing his bachelor's and law degrees; after their
children were grown, she provided invaluable support for his
endeavors as a member of the Texas House of Representatives and
Senate; she became active in many political and social groups and
continued to give generously of her time and talents as an engaged
citizen following Senator Luna's death in 1999; in recognition of
her contributions, Gregory Luna Middle School named its National
Junior Honor Society in her honor; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, Mrs. Luna knew the joy of welcoming
into her family four treasured grandchildren, Ariana, Sara, Sophie,
and Gregory; she prepared incomparable meals for her family and had
a tremendous gift for nurturing people, pets, and plants alike; and
WHEREAS, Helen Luna set an inspiring example of dedication to
her loved ones and to her community, and although she will be deeply
missed, indelible memories of her grace, serenity, and bright
spirit remain to comfort those she has left behind; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Helen Leticia Luna and
extend sincere condolences to all 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 House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Helen Luna.
