A SENATE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE EIGHT-YEAR-OLD CRYSTAL WILLIAMS OF
GREENVILLE COUNTY FOR HER COURAGEOUS EFFORT IN
SAVING HER GRANDMOTHER FROM DROWNING.
Whereas, Crystal Williams of Greenville County is the eight-year-old
daughter of Sherry Garrison and granddaughter of Judy Pearson; and
Whereas, on May 29, 1998, Crystal's grandmother fell off a pool float
into the deep end of the pool; and
Whereas, Mrs. Pearson cannot swim, but struggled to stay above
water; and
Whereas, in spite of her struggles she began to swallow and inhale
water; and
Whereas, Crystal and her nine-year-old sister Andrea became aware
of the emergency; and
Whereas, Crystal bravely supported and pulled her grandmother to
the shallow end of the pool; and
Whereas, the quick thinking and courage of Crystal and her sister in
aiding their grandmother out of the pool, in calling 911, and in
"giving her some air" by mouth-to-mouth ventilation
rescued Mrs. Pearson from a seriously dangerous emergency. Now,
therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the Senate hereby recognize eight-year-old
Crystal Williams of Greenville County for her courageous effort in
saving her grandmother from drowning.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
Crystal Williams.
