family of Keren Ella Shalom Leal of Georgetown, who passed away on
January 5, 2023, at the age of 12; and

nephews; and

exploring the outdoors and letting her curiosity about the world
guide her; in addition to devoting herself to her studies as a

other artistic endeavors, and she also loved animals, especially
horses and dogs; she shared with her family a deep commitment to her
faith; and

of her loved ones that can never be extinguished, and they will
forever keep her memory close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
