SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 579
In Memory
of
Eliahna Torres
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 sisters, Justice and Eliza, and her brothers, Eli and
Dylan; 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

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 Senate of the State of Texas, 88th

and extend deepest condolences to the members of her family: to

Camacho, Eli 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
