H.R. No. 100

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The legislative community lost one of its own with
	the passing of an esteemed colleague, Julia Alexandra Bass, the
	longtime journal clerk of the Texas House of Representatives, on
	November 5, 2014, at the age of 51; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Grand Saline on November 30, 1962, to Judge
	Bill Bass and Patsy McMurray Bass, Julia Bass graduated from
	St. Mary's Hall High School in San Antonio and pursued her higher
	education at The University of Texas at Austin, where she earned a
	bachelor's degree in English language and literature; and
	WHEREAS, This accomplished woman began her career in state
	government in 1994, when she joined the staff of the Texas House of
	Representatives; Ms. Bass went on to serve the citizens of the Lone
	Star State with the utmost dedication during an outstanding career
	that spanned more than two decades; noted for her commitment to
	excellence, she held the title of journal clerk from the 78th
	through the 83rd Legislative Sessions, handling her duties with
	exceptional skill and attention to detail over the course of her
	remarkable tenure; and
	WHEREAS, In addition to earning the respect of others for her
	invaluable professional contributions, Ms. Bass was admired by
	many for the grace, humor, and courage with which she lived her
	life, which was challenged early by scoliosis and later by cancer;
	finding joy in life despite these hardships, she delighted in the
	company of her loved ones, including her favorite four-legged
	companions, and in her free time, she took pleasure in jewelry
	making, traveling, and writing, and together with her sister, she
	published two novels of historical fiction; and
	WHEREAS, Although her journey on this earth ended far too
	soon, Julia Bass was blessed with a caring and cheerful nature and
	an indomitable spirit that won her many friends, and she will not
	soon be forgotten by all those who were privileged to know her; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Julia Alexandra Bass
	and extend sincere condolences to the members of her family: to her
	parents, Judge Bill Bass and Patsy Bass; to her brother, James; to
	her sisters, Suzie and Elizabeth; to her godsister, Shatzie; to her
	nephews, Will and Zack; and to her other relatives and many friends;
	and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
	Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Julia
	Alexandra Bass.
