immeasurable loss to her family and friends; and

childhood sweetheart, Lance Aldred Holland; they became the proud
parents of a son, Justin; and

compliance officer; she also played a kind, maternal role for many
of the agents and won the firm's "Most Valuable Player" award
multiple times; and

well as taking beach vacations with loved ones; in addition, she
enjoyed getaways with her friends; she shared a fulfilling marriage
with her husband until his passing in 2011; and
WHEREAS, Although Saundra Holland is deeply missed by those
she left behind, they will continue to find inspiration in her
devotion to her family and her faith, 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
