1 HOUSE RESOLUTION
2 WHEREAS, The Lord is good, and a stronghold in the day of
3 trouble, and He knoweth them that trust in Him; and
4 WHEREAS, Madelyn Howard, born on October 16, 1952, passed
5 away on March 26, 1999; she is survived by her husband,
6 Gregory Howard, and her daughters, LaTrina Hunter and
7 ShaVonna Triplett; and
8 WHEREAS, We, her devoted friends, extend to the family of
9 Madelyn our heartfelt sympathy and commend you to the Divine
10 Comforter who is able to sustain, encourage, and strengthen
11 all who call upon Him; and
12 WHEREAS, Madelyn has moved on up a little higher; it is
13 the will of God, and yet there is a bond that has been
14 broken, which leaves your heart in pain; you must find
15 comfort in the words of Jesus, who said: "Cast your burdens
16 on Him, for he cares for you."; and that you will weep not as
17 those who have no hope, for if we believe that Jesus died and
18 rose, even them that sleep in Jesus will God bring with us
19 again; therefore, be it
20 RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
21 NINETY-FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
22 God knows that there will be sorrow so he gives us tears to
23 cry, he knows there will be trails so He takes us through in
24 order to bring us out; But He is our Heavenly Father, and He
25 will take us by the hand and lead us through the sorrows that
26 we cannot understand; and be it further
27 RESOLVED, That:
28 God has all the time you need.
29 He feels the pain you feel,
30 and above all He knows a heart takes time to heal;
31 and be it further
