VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO HONOR MRS. CORINTHIA BLUFORD HANKINS OF RICHLAND COUNTY ON THE OCCASION OF MOTHER'S DAY, AND TO WISH HER A JOYOUS CELEBRATION AND MANY MORE YEARS OF HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate note with pleasure that Mother's Day will be celebrated on Sunday, May 9, 2010; and
Whereas, it is fitting that all the citizens of South Carolina should pause to remember their mothers and express gratitude for the care and love these dear ones continually give their children, and, on the occasion of Mother's Day 2010, the Senate wishes to honor Mrs. Corinthia Bluford Hankins as one of this great state's outstanding mothers, one worthy of praise and emulation by all women who would be a blessing to their children; and
Whereas, a native of Blythewood, Corinthia Bluford Hankins was born the daughter of Johnnie and Nancy Canzater Bluford on March 11, 1927; and
Whereas, although she has retired from her work as a seamstress, she continues to fashion unique creations for family and friends, thereby giving much pleasure to these loved ones; and
Whereas, for many years, she was married to the late Andrew Hankins, the Lord blessing their union with six children, John; James; Bobby, now deceased; Randye; Edward; and Cynthia, as well as fifteen grandchildren and twenty-two great-grandchildren; and
Whereas, Mrs. Hankins remains very active at New Ebenezer Baptist Church, where she serves with the missionary and deaconess ministries and is currently the servant leader of the elderly ministry and an avid Sunday School attendee. She has worshipped with her spiritual family at Ebenezer for at least sixty years and loves the Lord and all His people; and
Whereas, those who know and love her testify that Corinthia Hankins is a mother deserving of the commendation found in Proverbs 31:28: "Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her." Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, honor Mrs. Corinthia Bluford Hankins of Richland County on the occasion of Mother's Day, and wish her a joyous celebration and many more years of health and happiness.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. Corinthia Bluford Hankins.
