Joint Session

Pursuant to Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 8401, the President called the Joint Session to order. The Secretary called the roll of the members of the Senate. The Secretary called the roll of the members of the House of Representatives. The President declared that a quorum of the Legislature was present.

The President welcomed and introduced the statewide elected officials who were present at the rostrum: Kim Wyman, Secretary of State; Troy Kelley, State Auditor; James McIntire, State Treasurer; Justice Mary Fairhurst, Justice Debra Stephens; Justice Charles Wiggins; Justice Steven Gonzalez; Justice Sheryl Gordon McCloud and Justice Mary Yu of the Washington State Supreme Court.

The flags were escorted to the rostrum by the Washington State Patrol Honor Guard. Rabbi Cheski Edelman of Olympia delivered the invocation.

Rabbi Cheski Edelman: “‘Everything has an appointed season, and there is a time for every matter under the heaven. A time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot that which is planted. A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time of wailing and a time of dancing.’ King Solomon, Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3.

We stand before you God, at a time when we are to pay tribute and to remember men and women who have honorably served this great state in its legislature. Is this a time to weep or is a time to laugh? Is it a time for wailing or is it a time for dancing? This evening the Jewish month of Adar begins, which obligates us to increase in joy. Every event, every happening must be punctuated and permeated with joyfulness. The legislators who we remember today should be a source of joy and inspiration to their families, colleagues and all who knew them. May the memory of these public servants who valiantly fought for the good of their fellow man, bring joy and gladness to our lives. Please, God almighty, lead us to remember with joy, that we might fulfill the teaching of the holy Zohar, to be joyous and create joy in the divine realm, causing God to reveal a dimension of blessing that transcends all limitations. May God Almighty shower His blessings on those assembled here today. May He grant them only health, prosperity, and to know only goodness all the days of their lives. Today as we reflect upon the lives of these leaders of our communities, their accomplishments and the lessons in life they passed on, may their legacy continue in the untold blessings released from the heavens through our joy. May the memory of these legislators be a blessing and a guiding light for us all? Amen.”

President Owen: “Honored statewide officials, justice of the court members of the Legislature, Ladies and Gentlemen, the purpose of this Joint Session is to conduct a memorial service in memory of members of the legislature who have passed from among us. This has been our longstanding custom. For more than a century the Senate and House have met as we meet today, to pay special tribute and fitting tribute to the lives and service of these valued public servants. Despite the abundant work we have here before us, we pause upon this sad occasion and reflect upon the course that we have traveled and pay homage to the disappearing generations of men and women who aided in strengthening and multiplied the powers and opportunities, the pleasures and possibilities of the people who constitute this great state. 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 have joined us today and offer our deep sympathies.

The President called upon the Deputy Speaker Pro Tempore Tina Orwall to preside over the Joint Session.

The Speaker (Representative Orwall presiding): “We gather 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 public service.

The Sixty-Fourth Legislature conveys its respects to these deceased legislators. They once sat in these chambers, they made important votes, they attended committee meetings and through it sought always to make our state a better place. While their journey in life is complete, their achievements, public record and valued service are recorded in the journals of the Senate and 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 memorial 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 a history of our state.”

The Speaker (Representative Orwall presiding) welcomed and introduced Father Photios Dumont, St Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church of Seattle who offered the Memorial Prayer.

Father Photios Dumont: “In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit, Amen. O God of all, we give thanks to You and praise You on this day, as we gather to honor and remember all of those who so faithfully served their fellow citizens and this great State of Washington and have now departed to the next life. We are thankful as we remember their work and dedicated service, and we ask You to grant them mercy, and Your good favor. To all of their surviving family, relatives, friends and colleagues, we ask You to bring comfort and peace, consoling their hearts and souls, as such that only You can do. We bless and praise Your Holy Name for Your gracious favor and divine blessing upon the State of Washington, our Governor Jay Inslee, and the members of this august assembly of State Representatives and Senators. Bless, preserve, and keep them and their families safe and healthy, together with all who serve our Great State. May they be inspired by all those who served before them, who we honor and remember this day, and diligently seek to imitate their good deeds, bringing justice, equality and goodness to our beloved state. Heavenly Father, may we ever abide in this land of opportunity and freedom in “perfect tranquility,” faithful to our foundations, and ever building a more prosperous, just, equitable, and decent society for all our citizens, through the example of our forebears. For our departed Governor, Representatives and Senators, O Merciful God, grant them rest where the light of Your countenance shines – where there is no more pain, sorrow or suffering, but life everlasting. May their memory be eternal. Amen.”

The Speaker (Representative Orwall presiding) and the President called the roll of the deceased former members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The deceased former members were memorialized by the Governor, the senators and representatives and assisted by candle lighters: Miss Zsa Zsa Bell Toms, Senate Page, and Mr. Christopher Miyake, House Page.

The Olympia Youth Chorus Cantabile Ensemble, performed “Steal Away and Psalm 23.”

The Speaker (Representative Orwall presiding) welcomed and introduced Reverend Kojo Kakihara of the Buddhist Temple, Tacoma who offered the Closing Prayer.

Reverend Kakihara: “Every life is interconnected and resonates each other beyond our physical lives. This moment we share together is a precious gift, given by those whom we remember and honor today. We share this moment and we share life. Buddha said, ‘To benefit others is to benefit yourself, and brings you true happiness.’ They lived to contribute to the world and dedicated themselves to serving others. Their spirit is in us. Let us all keep their legacies and walk forward in the same spirit. As the sun shines upon the earth awakening into the growth the seeds that lie dormant in the soil, may the Light of Truth cast its splendor upon the minds and hearts that they may continue to guide the State of Washington, this Nation, and the world with great wisdom and deep compassion. May the same Light shine upon us all, giving us the insight to realize that all life is in Oneness, that we may constantly strive for the wellbeing, not only of ourselves, but also, for all people everywhere. Please join me and let us have a moment of meditation. You are welcome to express words in your own respective religious traditions. Namoamidabutsu”
