        Anniversary on July 3, 2021

  WHEREAS, This  Legislative  Body  takes  great  pleasure  in  paying
tribute  to those flourishing marriages that have stood the test of time
to serve as a paradigm for present and future generations; and

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body  to  congratulate
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Bernard S. Lawlee upon the occasion of celebrating their
50th Wedding Anniversary on Saturday, July 3, 2021; and

  WHEREAS, Bernard Lawlee and the former Cathy  Thomas  of  Watertown,
New  York,  were  united  in marriage on July 3, 1971, at the Immaculate
Conception Church in Brownville, New York; and

  WHEREAS, They are the  proud  parents  of  four  children,  Shellie,
Brandi,   Heather  and  Bernard,  and  the  loving  grandparents  of  10
grandchildren; they also claim Sarah Burns of Northern Ireland whom they
met through Project Children in 1986, as one of their family; and

  WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard S. Lawlee are and always have  been  a
tower  of  strength, support, understanding and limitless love for their
family; and

  WHEREAS, Their devotion, caring, sensitivity and  responsiveness  to
their  family,  friends  and  all  who  know them are their hallmark and
tradition; and

  WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard S. Lawlee have lived and  continue  to
live   their   lives  with  great  dignity  and  genuine  grace,  always
demonstrating a deep and continuing concern for human values and ideals,
and in doing so, have inspired others to do the same; and

  WHEREAS, This meaningful occasion is the result of  the  love,  hard
work and spirit this couple has invested in their marriage; and

  WHEREAS,  They  have  passed  these same values to their loved ones,
producing a family that is close-knit and supportive of  its  individual
members,  public-minded  in its relations to the community and committed
to the ideals of citizenship upon which this Nation was founded; and

  WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard S. Lawlee have touched  the  lives  of
their  family  and  many  friends  through  the shining example of their
marriage, which is a testament to the devotion and admiration which they
possess for one another; and

  WHEREAS, The longevity of  this  enduring  marriage  truly  marks  a
milestone in life's journey, an event of personal triumph and joy; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense  of  this Legislative Body that when an
occasion of such importance is brought to our attention, the same should

be memorialized by us for the edification and emulation of others;  now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Mr. and  Mrs.  Bernard  S.  Lawlee  upon  the  occasion  of
celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary; and be it further
