REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “Honored members of the Legislature, ladies and gentlemen: The purpose of this joint session is to conduct a memorial service in memory of departed former members of the legislature. This has been our longstanding custom. For more than a century the Senate and House have met as we meet today to pay special and fitting tribute to the lives and service of these valued public servants and to express our sympathies to their families and friends. On behalf of the Senate and the House of Representatives, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the family members, friends and colleagues who are with us today.”
The President called upon the Speaker Pro Tempore Morris to preside over the Joint Session.
Pastor Sandra Kreis of Shelton offered the Invocation: “We gather this day to honor and remember legislators of Washington State who have served these august bodies. We grieve their passing, but we honor them for their service and give thanks for all they have given to the state and to us personally. I believe they may have been familiar with this passage from the Prophet Micah in the Old Testament:’ ‘God has told you O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God?’
Holding the position of lawmaker in this place means that one would be about doing justice, living and acting with compassion and certainly realizing their place as a part of a larger body. We praise these men and women who served in this way understanding that respect and compromise were their greatest gifts.
As we continue to live on this earth, we are reminded by the Old Testament writer of the book of Ecclesiastes that our time here is a gift from our creator and has its season:
‘A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to break down and a time to build up;
A time to weep and a time to laugh’
A time to mourn and a time to dance;
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven’”
So we gather to remember these your servants:
Let us pray: Gracious God, we give thanks for these persons who have toiled with care and diligence in this place of governance. We thank you for guiding them with the love of justice and compassion for all. May their example encourage those gathered here who continue their legacy. May they too find ways to show compassion for those in need and serve the people of this great state with honor. Comfort and bless those here who have lost a colleague, a friend, a family member, may their lives be richer for knowing your child. May we continue to live lives of service and sacrifice emulating those we have lost. May their example encourage and strengthen us in our daily walk. And now o God we ask that you bless these moments as we remember and honor those who have left our side….Help us to learn from their lives. Thanks be to God. Amen”
Sergeant Patty Lankford of the Washington State Patrol performed “Ave Maria.”
REMARKS BY THE SPEAKER
Mr. Speaker (Representative Morris presiding): “We gather here today to pay tribute to the contributions of the distinguished former members of the Washington State Senate and House of Representatives who have passed from among us. The people of our state are grateful for their service. The Sixty-First Legislature conveys its respects to these deceased legislators. They once sat in these chambers, answered roll calls on critical bills, attended committee meetings and throughout it always sought to make our state a better place to live. While their journey in this life is complete, their achievements, public record and valued service are recorded in the journals of the Senate and the House and are forever a permanent part of our state’s history. We express our sympathies to their families, friends and colleagues of these public servants. We also share with them on this memorable occasion, the fond and happy memories of these legislators. They leave a legacy of dedicated service that remains always in our hearts, our memories and the history of our state.”
Speaker Pro Tempore Morris and the President called the roll of the deceased former members of the Senate and House of Representatives assisted by candle lighters, Pages Adam Archer and Katherine Hinderlie.

Rabbi Cheski Edelman of the Chabad Jewish Discovery Center in Olympia gave the Memorial Prayer:
Rabbi Edelman: A fascinating exchange between two rabbis is recorded in the Talmud, the Jewish book of law and lore.
Rabbi Nachman said to Rabbi Yitzchak: "So said Rabbi Yochanan: The patriarch Jacob did not die."
Asked Rabbi Yitzchak: "Was it for no reason that the eulogizers eulogized, the embalmers embalmed and the buriers buried?"
The conversation continues, examining the nature of life, teaching us an important lesson about our time here on earth. Life cannot die. Only existence can die. To exist means one takes up space, and does not allow a focus on others, as two things cannot exist in the same space. Existence is selfish. Life is not about existence, it is about purpose. Life is about making a contribution to the world.
In other words, for a person to whom life means the pursuit and attainment of material gains, life indeed ceases when the soul departs from the body. But one for whom life is defined in terms of what he does for others, is no less alive after physical death, for their influence continues to uplift and benefit others.
Today we honor the lives, not merely the existence, of the Washington State Legislators who selflessly dedicated themselves to the service of the citizens of this State. These great men and women were not satisfied with merely existing and bettering themselves, but they chose to live and to contribute to the world, dedicating themselves to serving others. Existence can die but life is eternal. Life is growth and these remarkable men and women sacrificed of themselves to ensure the growth of others. Our gathering here today is testimony to the lives they have lived, and we honor them by following in their footsteps, and living to help others and make this world a better place.
Dear G-d and G-d of our fathers, today as we reflect upon the lives of these leaders of our communities, their accomplishments and the lessons in life they passed on, we pray for the strength to emulate their good deeds and their legacy of concern for the welfare of others. May we perpetuate the legacies of the departed and ensure that they also live on through our actions. May their memories be for a blessing and a guiding light for us all. Amen.”
Lieutenant Keith Huntley of the Washington State Patrol performed “Amazing Grace” on Scottish bagpipes.
The V. F. W. honor guard of Olympia and Marine Corps League, Olympia Detachment arrived at the bar of the Senate, ceremonially folded the national flag and placed in on the rostrum.
Gilman Pilkey, Marine Corps League, Olympia Detachment performed Taps.
Reverend Aaron Williams of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Seattle gave the closing prayer: “Most gracious and everlasting God, we thank you for this day and we thank you for this hour. As we honor those who have gone before us, public servants who have served this country and served you. May they serve Father as a beacon of light a beacon of hope which we will pursue in light of what they have done. We thank you Father for what they’ve done and may we continue their legacy and move forward in the same spirit. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Speaker Pro Tempore Morris returned the gavel to President Owen.
The President acknowledged Representative Karen Schmidt-Wilson who was present in the gallery.
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
President Owen: “Thank you Mr. Speaker and thank you to the members of our Memorial Committee, you did a great job.

The President hopes that the loved ones of those being honored today would draw comfort from today’s observance.”
