SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 592
In Memory
of
Eliahna Garcia
WHEREAS, The tragic passing of Eliahna Amyah Garcia of
Uvalde on May 24, 2022, at the age of nine, brought an
incalculable loss to the family and friends of this beloved young
girl; and
WHEREAS, Eliahna Garcia was born in Uvalde on June 4, 2012,
to Steven and Jennifer Garcia; her cherished family included her
four sisters, Janelle, Adrianna, Viviana, and Adalyn, as well as
her grandparents and many aunts, uncles, and cousins; and
WHEREAS, Eliahna, who was affectionately known as "Ellie"
to her loved ones, was blessed with a kind heart and a vibrant,
cheerful spirit; she enjoyed dancing, playing basketball, and
riding her bicycle, and she was an enthusiastic fan of the film
Encanto; moreover, even though it was several years away, she had
already begun planning for her quinceañera party, and she had
dreams of becoming a cheerleader one day; and
WHEREAS, Through the love and laughter she shared, Eliahna
Garcia made the world a brighter place for everyone around her,
and time will never dim their memories of the joy she brought into
their lives; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby pay tribute to the memory of Eliahna Amyah
Garcia and extend deepest condolences to the members of her
family: to her parents, Steven and Jennifer Garcia; to her
sisters, Janelle, Adrianna, Viviana, and Adalyn Garcia; to her
grandparents, Rogelio and Nelda Lugo and Arnulfo and Leticia
Arizmendi; 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 Senate adjourns
this day, it do so in memory of Eliahna Amyah Garcia.
