     WHEREAS, While these hallowed halls have blossomed many a romance, Liz and Rolly

1-10

actually met at La Salle Academy, where they were both students.  A few years after Liz started

as a Page, she helped pave the way for Rolly and for the next eight years, the two spent a great

1-12

deal of time working together during sessions; and

1-13

     WHEREAS, Liz often spent long and arduous hours on the House floor during the late

at various hospitals, and just recently, earned her Bachelor’s degree from Rhode Island College;

and

     WHEREAS, With a new job as a Telemetry Nurse at Fatima Hospital and a December

2014 wedding to plan, Liz is continuing to pursue her future, and though we will miss her dearly,

2-1

we are proud to have played a small role in her life and in helping her to attain her dreams; now,

2-2

therefore be it   

2-3

     RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and

2-6

marriage; and be it further
