  5         WHEREAS, a grieving mother and sister mourn the loss of

  6  a beautiful, vibrant life that was snuffed out on September 8,

  7  1999, when 14-year-old Mayra Capote, along with two other

10  hurried back to school following an off-campus lunch break,

11  and

12         WHEREAS, in response to this tragedy, and to prevent

13  future tragedies relating to off-campus lunch periods, the

14  Miami-Dade County public schools approved a plan of action to

15  close all senior high school campuses during lunch periods by

16  the opening of the school year 2004-2005, and

17         WHEREAS, born October 4, 1984, Mayra Capote was the

18  light of her mother's eyes and the adored friend, caregiver,

19  and protector of her older sister, Elizabeth, who has been

20  disabled since birth and who keenly misses the companionship

21  and affection of her sister, and

22         WHEREAS, Mayra Capote will forever be remembered by her

23  mother, sister, and friends as a friendly, outgoing, happy

24  child, loving and caring, with a special heart for those less

25  fortunate than she, NOW, THEREFORE,

26

27  Be It Resolved by the Senate of the State of Florida:

28

29         That the Florida Senate expresses its heartfelt

30  condolences to the mother, sister, and friends of Mayra

31  Capote.
