R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Words cannot fully express the sorrow felt by the
loved ones of Eliahna Torres of Uvalde, who passed away on May 24,
2022, at the age of 10; and
WHEREAS, Born in Uvalde on January 12, 2012, to Eli and Sandra
Torres, Eliahna Torres was blessed with the companionship of her

extended family included her grandparents, her nieces and nephews,
and her many aunts, uncles, and cousins, and she also benefited from
the love and support of numerous people in the wider community; and
WHEREAS, A vibrant girl with a radiant smile, Eliahna enjoyed
being silly and making everyone laugh; she had developed a
compassionate and nurturing nature that set her apart at such a
young age, and she was always putting the needs of others ahead of
her own; she was also a promising softball player who was vying for
a spot on her city's all-star team; and
WHEREAS, Although her journey on this earth ended far too
soon, Eliahna Torres touched the lives of those around her in ways
beyond measure, and she will forever hold a special place in their
hearts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Eliahna Torres and
extend deepest condolences to the members of her family: to her

Torres Jr. and his wife, Karina Arizmendi, and Dylan Rodriguez; to
her nieces, Arabella, Alaiyah, Avayah, Nayeli, and Lexi; to her
nephews, Mark, Eli, and Joe; to her grandparents, Eva Cruz and her
husband, Victor Cabralez, Adolfo Cruz, Moses and Araceli Torres,
and Eloisa and Andres Alvarado; to her other relatives and friends;
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 House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Eliahna
Torres.
