WHEREAS, Words cannot fully express the heartache felt by the
family and friends of Layla Marie Salazar of Uvalde, who passed away
on May 24, 2022, at the age of 11; and
WHEREAS, Layla Salazar was born in Elgin, Illinois, on
September 19, 2010, to Vincent Salazar III and Melinda Alejandro;
she enjoyed the companionship of two brothers, Julian and Nicholas,
and she was further cherished by her grandparents and
great-grandparents as well as a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins;
and
WHEREAS, Layla was a high-spirited young girl who took
advantage of any opportunity to sing and dance; though energetic
and sometimes rambunctious, she was also respectful of her elders,
and she was the first to greet relatives, friends, and guests who
visited the family's home; her competitive nature shined in many
different activities such as swimming and running, and she beamed
with pride when she took home six first-place ribbons from her
school's field day; and
WHEREAS, Although the passing of Layla Salazar is an
incalculable loss to all those who held her dear, they may find
comfort in knowing that their lives have been forever enriched by
the love, laughter, and kindness she shared with them; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature
hereby pay tribute to the memory of Layla Marie Salazar and extend
heartfelt condolences to the members of her family: to her parents,
Vincent Salazar III and Melinda Alejandro; to her brothers, Julian
and Nicholas Salazar; to her grandparents, Lisa and Roberto
Alejandro and Vincent and Alma Salazar; to her great-grandparents,
Mary and Joe Deleon, Romualda Alejandro, Consuelo Salazar, and
Alicia Alejandro; to her aunts, uncles, cousins, 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 Senate adjourns this
day, it do so in memory of Layla Marie Salazar.
