Representatives Santos, Wensman, Tokuda, Talcott, Miloscia, Pennington, Quall, Fortunato, Lovick, DeBolt and Kenney spoke in favor of the adoption of the resolution.
House Resolution No. 2000-4719 was adopted.
Representative Buck: "Periodically each of us in this Chamber has had to come before the Chamber and talk about tragedies that have happened in their district. Unfortunately, I have to do that this morning. On Thursday last week, on a snowy, icy road near Joyce, we had an automobile accident where a mother and three children were killed. Joyce is a small town; I like to joke about that single gas station and restaurant, and the out of business tattoo parlor; but there is about 1,000 of us. The entire town is in mourning today. We had a memorial service yesterday afternoon. We packed our school gym and I would just like to ask that the Chamber observe a moment of silence for Sarah Jean Smith, the mother and for Samantha, three, Nathan, who was a year and a half, and for Robert Leroy who was two months old."
Representative Kessler: "I want to join my colleague and my seatmate from the 24th District, and although I don't live in Joyce, I recognize the anguish that this tragic accident has caused not only to the community, but imagine the father and the husband and what he is going through. I hope we will keep him in our prayers because this tragedy will live in his heart and mind for the rest of his life -- to lose his entire family is an unspeakable occurrence that I'm sure none of us would want to go through. So please join my seatmate and me in keeping this man in our prayers."
Speaker Ballard: "We become quite accustomed to watching the news and seeing the tragedies. This is certainly one tragedy that stops all of us because of the enormity of it. It is a good reminder for me and for all of us that some time we get so involved in our process here that we forget about all the hurt that is out there for the people that we represent. And so it certainly is a time that we can join together, support this family in whatever way -- whether in prayer or other ways -- because these tragedies are almost beyond our understanding."
