Whereas, it is fitting that all 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 2014, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in adding its good wishes to these outstanding Winnsboro mothers, all worthy of emulation by women who would be a blessing to their children; and

Whereas, those who know and love these ladies testify that they are mothers deserving of the commendation found in Proverbs 31:28a (KJV): "Her children arise up, and call her blessed." Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
